How to talk to your kids about school shootings and threats

With more and more school threats coming into Southern Colorado and across the nation, it’s hard to know exactly how to talk to your kids about what’s going on at their schools.

According to Charlton Clarke, director and clinician at Aspen Pointe, “When you have younger kids, it’s a lot of listening and asking how that made them feel and then reassuring them that they’re safe.”

For older kids, it’s best to focus on some of those feelings that directly relate to the shooter or bullying within schools.
