As our nation was rocked by another senseless school shooting, mothers everywhere have the same two questions:
- How do I talk to my children about the Uvalde, Texas tragedy?
- How can I reassure my children that they are safe even when the world feels so unsafe?
In this episode of Moms Moving On, therapist and childhood expert Evelyn Mendal, LMHC, shares her tips for how to talk to your children about the Uvalde tragedy and what other steps to take to ensure your children feel safe and supported as they struggle to comprehend the news. While Evelyn does not feel it’s necessary to share the news with all kids, she advises that “if you think your children are going to find out somewhere else, it’s best you talk to them first to give them the facts.”
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
