Keeping Our Kids Safe: The Hard Conversations About School Safety
Manage episode 502984732 series 3673609
Keeping our kids safe when theyโre out of our sight is every parentโs greatest fear โ especially when it comes to school shootings. ๐
In this weekโs episode of Why Am I Yelling? Iโm talking about:
๐ The fear we all carry as parents
๐ How to talk to kids about safety without terrifying them
๐ What questions to ask your childโs school
๐ How to turn fear into advocacy + action
Because while we canโt be with our kids every second, we can prepare them, partner with schools, and use our collective voices to demand safer communities.
๐ You are not alone in this. ๐
๐ Resources for Parents & Caregivers:
