Talking to Kids About Traumatic Events
Academically talented students are often exceptionally curious and strongly impacted by issues related to justice and human rights. Like all kids, they have big emotions and are still learning healthy ways to work through them. Conversations about tough topics are important: they can help youth feel invested in the issues, manage their emotions, and build empathy toward others.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth has great resources to help parents navigate these conversations. Visit https://cty.jhu.edu/resources/traumatic-events for more information!
