[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is 7. I actually realize I had a different experience than my son because of the internet. So I can remember my parents watching the news and seeing pictures of the Oklahoma City Bombing in the paper when I was my kid's age, but I don't watch TV or get a physical newspaper. So I do remember the picture of the firefighter holding the baby who had been killed. I try to keep my kid at least a little informed but I do realize he's not encountering a lot of the stuff I did at the same age. I do try the Mr. Rogers approach of focusing on the helpers, so talking about the guy who tackled the shooter as well as the shooting.[/quote]
