Subject: Re: stories and kids in crisis






In a newspaper I picked up when in Boston last weekend (22 or 23 March), =
was an article entitled "Children on heightened alert", "calm is doubly =
crucial in face of war, terror" by Marilyn Elias USA TODAY. Maybe this =
can be found on the web. Included are guidelines from the National =
Center for Children Exposed to Violence, the Yale Child Study Center, =
and also a box of web info including the following sites for more info =
on how to deal with children's concerns about war and terrorism: =
www.aboutourkids.org; www.helping.apa.org; www.aap.org/terrorism; =
www.istss.org, click on "terrorism and trauma", then "information for =
the public; www.kidshealth.org, click on "parents," then "in the news". =
Material is also available from the National Center for Children Exposed =
to Violence at 877-496-2238.
I know we are all going to get lots of story suggestions from this =
listserv, too!
