[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 6 and this is the first 9/11 she really has been old enough to notice (probably because of greater media coverage due to the 20th anniversary). We don't watch news around her (or really at all in general). She hadn't asked about it and I personally didn't really care to explain that day to her till she was older. Well she was at my moms house and they have the news on like 24/7 so of course she saw 9/11 coverage and asked about it and apparently she was told the very blunt version - bad men purposely crashed planes into buildings and lots of people died. Once she was back home, a commercial for the 60 Minutes 9/11 special came on during an NFL game and she started getting upset and asked me to turn it off because it was scary and so many people died that day.

I'm kind of annoyed that my mom told her so bluntly. I mean, she's not wrong and my daughter will learn about 9/11 eventually, but ... she's 6 and my response would have been bit more tempered than my mom's. Thoughts?[/quote]
