I wrote about the Aurora movie theater massacre at Mile High Mamas. How do you share hard, brutal news with your kids? Do you shelter or tell-all? Because it struck in our own backyard, it’s especially at the forefront of our minds. Every TV station is covering it relentlessly. Everyone is talking about it. A schoolmate’s cousin was one of the people shot.
If you have experience helping your kids deal with tragic news, click over to Mile High Mamas to share. If you’ve never had that hard task, it’s not unreasonable to contemplate how you’ll handle a similar situation when the time comes.
