[quote=Anonymous]And if your daughter had been basically anywhere outside of your home—a doctor’s office waiting room, an airport, a town square (“Why are those police officers talking at a podium?”), a friend’s house—in the days leading up to the *20th anniversary* of 9/11, she could have seen TV news coverage or a magazine cover or a newspaper or something related to 9/11. You and your husband are responsible for preparing your children to see, hear and learn about scary and tragic things, especially historic events. Let’s say your parents had kept the TV off. Even a copy of “Time” or a Washington Post lying around might have images. Are you really expecting them to hide all reading material for every visit? Plus, did you specifically remind them not to watch the news that day, because surely you realize that 9/11 coverage would be amped up. Did you specifically ask them to avoid it because of 9/11? You should have prepared your child.[/quote]
