In the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school tragedy, there are numerous resources for supporting families and children as they process scary and violent events:
- Talking to Children About Scary events (English and Spanish) as part of our Parenting the Preschooler series.
- Death and Grief in Parenting the Preschooler may also be appropriate.
Elementary
- Our Raising Caring Kids series might help children process how they and others are feeling with empathy.
- A Little Caring Goes a Long Way might also be fitting.
- A video about Responding to Scary Events from our Parenting: Behind the Behavior Series.
Teens
- Article for parents of teens about terrorism and mass violence and what parents can do to process these events with teens.
