School Shootings - How to Teach Coping Skills to Children

OMAHA, Neb. - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Given today's tragedy in Nevada and the recent events in Newtown, Boston and Aurora and other tragic headlines from the last year, we are having to talk to our children about horrible tragedies, disasters and violence far too much.  These are hard conversations to have with your child, yet parenting expert and children's author Julia Cook offers helpful tips that can be utilized at home or at school - http://www.juliacookonline.com/when-bad-things-happen/ - where Julia gives expert-endorsed advice on the subject.  She also has a book coming out later this year for kids - The Ant Hill Disaster, and she is currently working with A.L.I.C.E., a national crisis response organization, on another book that teaches children survival skills in case there is an active shooter or violent intruder event on a school property.

The power of Julia Cook's books lie in her ability to translate complex subjects into kid language, and she works closely with subject matter experts to provide the most accurate and helpful information. This is an example of an interview she did after the Waco, TX explosions earlier this year - http://radio.woai.com/articles/woai-local-news-119078/wha...
