Talking With Your Child About Mass Shootings

Homeschooling is a beautiful thing.  The miracle of science.  The fascination of history.  The joy you experience as you see your child have light bulb moments.  Guiding them through cultures, religions, and beliefs is an honor.  My personal favorites are character education and math.  I need constant brushing up on those two subjects!  How about a foreign language?  How awesome is it to help your homeschooler become bilingual?

How on earth do we approach these subjects without scaring our children?  Why shouldn’t we just avoid it altogether?  How do I know what my child needs?  Is my child too young to hear about this?  Should I lie?

These are issues our lesson planner doesn’t answer for us.  I have 4 boys, the oldest two are almost 7 and 5.  Here’s how I talk to them.  I hope it can guide you on this dark day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the D.C. shooting today.
