Talking to Your Children

As a parent, you may not always be prepared for every situation and sometimes, may not know what to say. This is a normal reaction to your children and the many overwhelming feelings and issues that are affecting you. Remember that the best way to encourage children in the family to share their feelings with you is for you to share your own. Do not be afraid to cry with children. Everyone is facing the same emotionally devastating situation.
