Subject: What to tell children?
Colleagues,
As events unfold, we are often asked questions by parents and EC teachers
about how to talk with children. Cooperative Extension and the NCFR have
compiled a list of web sites and resources that may be of help during this
time. I'm pasting the list below.

NEWS RELEASE
?What can I tell my children about war??
For immediate release: March 19, 2003
As the United States is preparing for war in Iraq and continues to deal
domestically with issues related to terrorism, NCFR has been asked by
parents and media personnel as to how parents can deal with these issues
with their children. Essentially, ?What can I tell my children?? As a
service to parents who may come to our Website for answers, NCFR has
compiled a list of online materials/information that might be helpful to
parents, professionals in the field, media, and the general public. We
have listed such information with Website linkages.
