The world today is a scary place...
Will your child be OK?
Did you know:
- Children who see terrorism on television are as traumatized as if they had been there?
- Preoccupation with bruises and scraped knees can be a sign of trauma in children?
- Watching violence on television makes children more fearful in general?
Terrorism and Kids: Comforting Your Child is an invaluable
guide for parents and teachers who are faced with children's difficult
questions during these dificult times. This book includes dozens of
practical tips for minimizing kids' fears without being overprotective
and specific answers to questions children may ask (What about anthrax
and smallpox? Will they bomb us?) You'll learn how to talk about
terrorism with your preschoolers, elementary school children, and
teenagers, and help them feel safe again. |
