Canon's Corner: Tips & Resources for Talking to Kids About Tragedy

This afternoon The Rev. Linda L. Grenz, Canon to the Ordinary, sent out a document called "Talking with children about Tragedy", courtesy of LeaderResources.

We recommend you take a look whether you are a parent, clergy person, lay leader, teacher, or someone who interacts with children on a regular basis. When tragedies such as the shooting in Newtown Connecticut happen, it is difficult to know what to say to our little ones. Even so, it's important that we adults be able to answer their questions at their level, and be able to help them process thoughts, fears, and emotions in a healthy way.
