After any crisis or disaster, families struggle with what they should say to children and how to help them cope. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages parents, teachers, child care providers and others who work closely with children to filter information about the event and present it in a way that their child can understand, adjust to and handle in a healthy way.
