Suggestions for talking to your children from LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho:
Families, it is difficult but necessary to talk to your children about this devastating massacre. Please consider the following suggestions:
Have conversations with your children about any worries and concerns they may have as a first step to help them feel safe and begin to cope with tragic or disturbing events.Check in with your children and monitor for any signs of fear or stress.Monitor conversations. Children may overhear conversations and could “fill in the gaps,” which can lead to further stress.Be present for your children. Provide extra time, attention and patience (an extra hug or a few encouraging words will go a long way).Seek professional help if you or your children are feeling overwhelmed.
