Talking With Kids When Bad Things Happen

Here is an interview I did on KQED Radio on 12/14/12 after I heard about the brutal shooting in Newtown Conn. I wanted to make sure parents turned the TV and radio’s off when their kids came home from school that day.

Love your children well….and may they be cherished and safe.
