(BONUS Episode) Talking About Hard Things: Supporting Children in the Aftermath of a School Shooting

In the aftermath of the school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX yesterday, we're all grieving. We're heartbroken & outraged at the same time. And in the midst of all of these feelings, how do we support our kids? 

In this bonus episode, I talk about how to take care of our kids (and ourselves!) in the wake of a tragedy. I break down the important considerations around talking to your kids about yesterday's events and creating space to grieve as a family.

 If you're feeling lost in the wake of yesterday's shooting, you're not alone. You're not supposed to know how to navigate something like this. But hopefully this episode gives you some tools and scripts to use to make supporting your child a little easier in the midst of a really, really unthinkably hard thing.
