[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  We opted not to tell our kids because our son is anxious already and if we tell our daughter, she will tell him. We don't watch the news in front of them. I will probably share a simplified version tomorrow morning in case someone brings it up and just focus on all the things in place to keep them safe. I hope if some kids start discussing the details, it will be redirected or if they are traumatized they will get some time with the counselor.[/quote]

One of the hardest things I've ever had to talk to my own kids about was Sandy Hook. That was absolutely horrific on so many levels and since that happened in a school I was so afraid that talking about it and then sending them off to school would be really scary.  Long story short, I did talk to my kids and I explained what happened and how sad it was - I was crying.  I let them ask questions and when they went back to school the other kids were absolutely talking about it so I was glad that we had talked about it at home.
