Talking to children after tragedy
Boston Children's Hospital
April 16, 2013
Tell children what happened
Answer their questions simply and honestly
Limit exposure to media
Make sure they know that events like these are rare
Let them know that adults are working all the time to keep them safe
Understand that they may need time to process what has happened
If the child is very sad or anxious and nothing you are doing is helping, call their doctor
