Children are very sensitive to any major changes in their lives so you can only imagine the impact that a hurricane or anticipation of one will have on your kids. It’s been 6 years since our last devastating hurricane and our kids are still feeling the emotional affects of the storm. Fortunately, we did not have the loss of life of those who experienced Hurricane Katrina, but moving forward we need to do things differently. Weather patterns have changed and storms have become more intense and our children need to know how to survive too.
OK! Let’s pull ourselves together here.
1. Talk to your kids about hurricanes. Ask them what they know about them. Start your dialogue there.
