Where do I even start to process what happened on Friday, December 14th in Connecticut? As a parent of an elementary age student and an elementary school employee it doubly impacted me. As school staff we love your kids SO much and I can't imagine not seeing their smiling faces each morning as I greet them at the door. My heart aches for those parents, school staff and community. We have a had a really great day with no mention of the tragedy at school. However, I wanted to make sure that you had some resources if you do choose to talk to your child about what happened or if they ask you questions. It is so hard to explain WHY someone would do this, but here are some helpful resources to help you talk to your child.
