Helping Children with Tragic Events in the News | Parenting Tips &…

In times of crisis, children want to know, "Who will take care of me?" Here are some tips to help reassure children during scary times.

05/25/2022

It’s hard to know how to explain tragic events to young children, or how much information to share. It’s also hard to know if your way of helping them with their fears and anxieties is “the right way” but there are ways to help them feel safer and more secure… and build hope for a more peaceful, kinder future. A curated list of PBS resources to help families cope during challenging times is available at: bit.ly/39W6HAE

A message from Becky Tucker, our outgoing President:

"When we moved into the neighborhood our neighbors shared we needed to be part of RECPTA. They were not wrong. We have absolutely loved being part of RECPTA. The playgroups have been a savior and the friendships developed have been a blessing. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the president for RECPTA for the last 3 years. I am so excited for our new board and the future of RECPTA. I will always and forever be part of this amazing group!"
