How to talk to kids after 19 children, 2 adults killed in Texas school shooting abc15
At least 18 students and two adults are dead after a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday.The governor said the suspect also allegedly shot his grandmother before entering school premises, but did not give any details about her condition.
"We really want to want to wrap our arms around them and make them feel safe," she added."But part of being a parent is willingness to discuss difficult topics." "Let them know that their school has plans in place to do everything to the best of their ability to make them safe," she said.Gurwitch emphasized that the conversation about the news should vary based on the age of your child.
For high school and older middle school-age students, Gurwitch recommends addressing the incident directly, saying that you want to talk to them about the school shooting that happened and asking them what they know about it. "Say, 'Tell me what it is that you're worried about? What it is that you don’t feel safe about?'" she said."Validate why your child may not feel safe. If we just discount it with a throwaway, 'You are going to be fine,' we shut down the conversation."
