Helping Our Children After a School Shooting

  • Try and keep routines as normal as possible. Kids gain security from the predictability of routine, including attending school.

  • Limit exposure to television and the news.

  • Be honest with kids and share with them as much information as they are developmentally able to handle.

  • Listen to kids’ fears and concerns.

  • Reassure kids that the world is a good place to be, but that there are people who do bad things.

  • Parents and adults need to first deal with and assess their own responses to crisis and stress.

  • Rebuild and reaffirm attachments and relationships.
