i don't wish to add any politics to this thread.but am posting this thread as seen through the eyes of a 6 and 9 year old while watching the news last night a silence come over the two of them as this story aired what should we do turn it off or see what happens!!!!!!!!!!. we let them watch and very carefully explained what had happened the the parents of those kids who wouldn't be picking up there little one's.i could see my older boy lachlan(who some here know)from astro camps was very quiet and a little shocked...but why daddy over and over..just how do you explain it...and you can't shield them from outside news as tragic as it is...just careful words and hugs and kisses to reasure them.....
we had an incident here a few weeks ago and the man is still on the run with high powered bow and arrows living in the bush around us..we tell the kids not to play out the front of our property till this is sorted..and last night i was really able to explain it better to them after the news...this is why mum and dad say things and set rules,for your safety they know understand a bit better..
