Moms Talk Q and A: Talking About Difficult Subjects
How do you discuss challenging subjects to your child that they might see on the street, on television or in the news?
Today, Moms Talk focuses on how parents broach difficult or challenging subjects with their children. The recent earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis in Japan we've followed over the past several days are perfect examples of how children might watch destruction and devastation on television and look to parents for an explanation about how something like this could happen.
How have you approached talking with your children about difficult and sensitive subjects like this? Is there an age where you feel that a child is just too young to be talked with about death?
