After natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunami threats, people often need physical first aid, but what about the need for psychological first aid?
Nigel Latta presents a fantastic discussion on helping children cope with disasters and trauma here -http://www.goldfishwisdom.org/parents/coping-with-disasters including trying to shield them from as much of the media stuff as you can, and returning to routines is important, including going back to school.
It is important that your child feels safe at school, and their school has a comprehensive emergency management plan to help deal with the kind of events we have seen in the past 36 hours. We can help you prepare and feel empowered in knowing what to do when disaster strikes, in any form.
