My kids read our daily local newspaper, so they are pretty aware of what goes on. We watch no live television, but we do on occasion look at news clips on the internet.

One way that we’ve handled disasters like this, we focused on all the wonderful things people did and our doing to help the people in need. We have watched a few warm fuzzy type news stories about bringing orphans from Haiti and a medical school in Texas sending their students to help provide medical care. That way my kids’ focus is not on the disaster, but on the many wonderful acts of kindness.

my fear is that the attempt will make them afraid they will think the same thing can happen here. how do i tell them our homes are built to withstand the devestation but we live strong with neighbors living on the brink of poverty? this is norrifying and i am embarrased to be healthy, strong and unable to do anything to protect my family from natural disaster. i have not mentioned it to my little princesses. i do not know how to show them such terror.

I can’t imagine since they lived there and that is their home, too. My children were just sort of quiet while watching the videos and wanted to know how they could help, too. They decided to give up eating out and snacks while we’re out for the next month in order to have extra money to send to the relief effort. Sweet little hearts.

Dana, My kids are very aware of what happened in Haiti. David is too young to understand much. Beverly understands perfectly. She ordered David to send his Christmas money to Haiti. She is very worried about her mom and had all the kids at her Wednesday afternoon activity at the church pray for her mom. And, she wants to go down there and take over relief efforts. If the adults were doing things right, all the buildings would be rebuilt by now.
