Destinee F's List: violence

Violence   in today's world in the media, in our neighborhoods and   even in our schools can make our children feel frightened,   unsafe and insecure. Kids are hearing about and often must   cope with tough issues such as violence at increasingly   earlier ages, often before they are ready to understand   all the aspects of complicated situations. Yet, there is   hope. Parents and other caring adults have a unique opportunity   to talk with their children about these issues first, before   everyone else does.
