Facebook Live Event: Talking to Kids About Gun Violence
Lesson Details
Join us 8pm April 20th for "Talking to Kids about Gun Violence." Watch our "Peace At Home Parenting" Facebook page for this month's upcoming Live Facebook Event.Parents are asking us about helping kids deal with recent violent events. Our most important suggestion is to manage what's on the screen. Even when kids seem engrossed in activities, they are picking up on what is going on around them. Each time young children see an image of a violent act, they believe it is happening at that moment, even if it is the same image shown over and and over again.

Lesson Details
Parents sometimes feel discouraged when their children want more toys, the newest technology, or the coolest sneakers that they believe will make them really happy. And maybe those things will work…for a few hours or a couple of days. What really makes our kids happy? How often do we get caught up in what media tells us will bring joy into our lives?
Research tells us that “things” don’t really make us happy. While temperament is inborn, parents can actually help children increase optimism (positive outlook and hopefulness) and resilience (ability to effectively bounce back from challenges). These capacities are strongly connected to well-being and success.
