[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's 6. It's time to introduce the topic.

And remember, it traumatized you far more because you were alive. Your child will have as much connection to it as you do to WW2.[/quote]

OP here, very true and good point.

For those saying she will learn about it in school ... of course ... but not in kindergarten, right? Or even 1st grade? I was thinking that was more a 3rd grade thing. She and I did have a good conversation about it after she asked me to change the channel, so I'm not upset that she knows, I just thought maybe we had another year or so. Also, she's just a bit of an anxious kid and the pandemic has been plenty for her without talking about global terrorism. [/quote]

She is 6 and doesn't know anything about global terrorism?  Wow.  I think you are really behind the ball on this.  I have a very anxious kid too, but enough is enough.  Keep in mind she WILL learn about all the topics posters have mentioned at school from other kids, because many of her classmates are going to have older siblings and this stuff filters down.   If you want to control how she learns about these things, get on it quick.[/quote]
