A guide for parents/teachers on How to talk to Children about the News in Haiti
Good morning,
With much News coverage on television on the earthquake in Haiti. Many parents are concern about how to convey the news to their children.
Parents should provide age-appropriate information and keep in mind that there are graphic images seen on the news. These images/ photos are geared toward adults, not children. It is important to be mindful of the news content.
Good news, PBS.org has a guide to talking with children and the News. It gives age-by-age insights to help parents convey the News to their children and process what is seen on television.
The PBS site is:
www.pbs.org/parents/talkingwithkids/news/agebyage.html
Also there are other resource on this site- like Helping Our Children Feel safe by Authur.
Peace and light,
Elva Anderson
