As parents it's important to know how to respond to tragic events that happen that our kids are exposed to in the media, whether it's human violence like a school shooting, or whether it's just a natural disaster like a tsunami or another giant storm. I think the best way that we can do that is to do it honestly and straightforwardly. But we also want to create a context where our kids can ask us plenty of questions where we can respond responsibly. We want to make sure that we make ourselves vulnerable. That's a frightening and troubling experience when I see police officers running into a school. Or that makes me feel sad when I see a community that has been wiped out because of a storm. So we want to make ourselves appropriately vulnerable and model that for our children. But we also want to create an environment where we assure our kids of an overarching, more universal sense of safety. But you know there's nothing that can ever come between the love that we share in our family. And you know that our connection as a family is always safe.
