Talking to Kids
Here are some tips on talking to kids about the recent events in CT.
- Start the conversation.
- What does your child already know? Start by asking what your child/teen already has heard about the events from the media and from friends.
- Gently correct inaccurate information. If your child/teen has inaccurate information or misconceptions, take time to provide the correct information in simple, clear, age appropriate language.
- Encourage your child to ask questions, and answer those questions directly.
- Limit media exposure. Limit your child’s exposure to media. Even if they appear to be engrossed in play, children often are aware of what you are watching on TV or listening to on the radio. What may not be upsetting to an adult may be very upsetting and confusing for a child. Limit your own exposure as well.
If you or your child need some help or have concerns and would like to speak to school counselor Mrs. McCarthy she can be reached at mccarthyd@fcsuvt.org or by calling the school at 527-0565.
