Talking to Preschoolers about Tough Subjects: Terrorism, Death, Divorce, and Parental Separation.

The Family Center is pleased to offer a timely seminar on how to talk to young children about difficult topics such as terrorism, war, parental separation/divorce, and death. This seminar, designed for parents and/or teachers of preschool-age children, gives practical advice about deciding if an issue needs to be addressed, and if it does, how to address it in a way that is most helpful to them. Because these tough issues are not only difficult for our children, but are also difficult for grown-ups, too, the seminar also includes suggestions for coping with our own feelings, as well as when to seek professional help.
