When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”
―Fred Rogers

Hat tip to Brené Brown for sharing this quote.

We are all heartbroken and sending love to the families in Connecticut. Lots of folks looking for resources to help know what to say to kids.  Here are a few links that I like:

– Brené Brown’s list (and approach) on her Ordinary Courage blog.
– This New York Times article for talking to kids about the disaster.
