Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all those impacted by the tragedy in Paris this past weekend. Such acts of violence are difficult to comprehend. Sadly, we cannot shield our children from the pain and fear when they are exposed to the news media and persistent chatter that surrounds it. However, we can help our children process what they are experiencing. Please read the links below you may find helpful at home with your child.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Warmest Regards,
Silvana
