It can be really tough to talk about tragic events with your kids. Sometimes as a parent, your words may just get caught in your throat, or you may be afraid of what to say...for fear of saying the wrong thing...
Here are some suggestions from a friend of WCQR's ministry, Dr. Tim Clinton, to help you comfort in this time of need:
Time: Limit the exposure
Talk: In age-appropriate ways, but also communicating a sense of safety
Tenderness & Touch: Make sure you are reaching out and letting them feel you close and the safety that you bring to them.
Together: Don't separate yourself
Truth: Share God's Word and pray together
