As I am feeling the distress of the city as the rampant violence in the world has now hit Boston. Children in Boston and beyond are hearing yet again about the horrors of violence.  Here are 2 items I have written in the past about how adults can help children deal with violence they hear about in the news.  They were written for other events, but seem to still be relevant now (unfortunately).  If you have experiences with children now you would like to share or questions you would like to ask, please write to this blog.  Hopefully other readers and I will be able to respond.
