    <p>Host: Should I encourage my child to talk about what happened after a school shooting?</p><p>Dr. Hayley Sherwood: Parents should encourage their child to talk about their concerns and express their feelings about a school shooting. Sometimes, a child or teen maybe reluctant to initiate a conversation. So you may need to check in to how he or she is feeling. If parents do not ask, a child may not tell you that he is concerned and may interpret your silence the signal that you don't care or that you don't want to talk about it.</p><p>Keep in mind that the age of your child makes a difference in how you talk about the tragedy. For instance, a young or school-age child may not understand the concept of violence, but might be able to talk with you about a child in school who has been mean to them. 1</p>
