There are lots of these in life. What do you tell a 6 y/o when his grandfather dies? What do you tell a kid who's been picked on for being different? <BR/><BR/>My 6 year old can ask the toughest questions and sometimes, I just don't have the perfect answer.<BR/><BR/>Great post, T.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-1147367089691303222006-05-11T10:04:00.000-07:002006-05-11T10:04:00.000-07:00This was truly a wonderful post.

And I read newspapers--and would worry about everything<BR/><BR/>As for this administration, am putting all my old posts in categories. Thought about making "impeach Bush" the default one for everything<BR/><BR/>Not because I want him impeached. I don't. I want an impeachment hearing because only then will the truth be known.<BR/><BR/>And a bit of me, not the good me, wants payback for what they did to Clinton--who told a personal lie, not lies that affected how our nation is run.<BR/><BR/>I live in Manhattan and know too many kids who are in therapy. Needed therapy because the Trade Center was a Manhattan backyard--and they can't understand everything that happened next<BR/><BR/>My best friend's daughter was 11 then. She's 15 now, has learning disablities, and her ablity to focus is cut short by worrying about the world<BR/><BR/>I was 15 during Viet Nam--and worried about the world but...my country hadn't been attacked, I didn't think it was more normal to be divorced than married---there was more solidness<BR/><BR/>It's really horrible when you can't tell a child that the president is a good person or leader, because children need that belief. But you can't lie about it either so...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-1147358706065086782006-05-11T07:45:00.000-07:002006-05-11T07:45:00.000-07:00What a difficult topic to try to explain to a chil...What a difficult topic to try to explain to a child. What makes it worse is that you have to explain something that even adults have a hard time coping with.<BR/><BR/>It is a really crappy way for a child to lose his innocence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-1147350510996930142006-05-11T05:28:00.000-07:002006-05-11T05:28:00.000-07:00That reminds me of a Will Smith song I heard about...That reminds me of a Will Smith song I heard about the very thing. I think it was called Tell Me Why.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. It's good that you let him draw out his emotion. It's hard for almost any kid to deal with things that even adults have a hard time expressing. And there is just nothing you can really tell him to make it all go away.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158409505328990008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25170924.post-1147344227605010902006-05-11T03:43:00.000-07:002006-05-11T03:43:00.000-07:00I know where you are with this.

We have a rule now that Husband is NOT ALLOWED to watch the news or leave newspapers lying around when Son is around, especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night.<BR/>Maybe tell him yes, God is crying about it too (or God is catching them when they die?)and if mummy's asleep, God will always give him a hug because he understands?<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646936995485109020noreply@blogger.com
