How to discuss School Shootings with your Children

At Roslindale Pediatrics we are in shock about the recent Robb Elementary School shooting. As a practice that dedicates our work to the overall health and wellness of our youth, we are devastated with the news that these children’s lives were lost with such a senseless act of violence. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

We know this can be very difficult to discuss with your children and they often have a lot of questions.

Here are some resources for families to help talk about these topics with your children. If you have any concerns about how your child is reacting to this event please reach out to us.
