How To Talk To Your Children About Terrorism And The Importance Of Remembering 9/11. The new ‘monster under the bed’ is terrorism, says Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H., and Board Certified psychiatrist. Dr. Carole says Terrorism is the new ‘birds and the bees’ talk of the 21st century. Sadly, it’s a sensitive fact of life that kids must learn about to become resilient and stay safe. Dr. Carole is the author of “Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror,” the first and only book about terrorism for kids. It has won awards at the London, New York City, Paris and Hollywood Book Festivals, and a Mom’s Choice Gold Award. She joined The Debbie Nigro Show today.Â
The first half of the book empowers parents and teachers to help children understand the news that bombards them, without making them feel scared. It also helps grownups recognize and respond to kids’ feelings, and includes 88 ways to raise happy, healthy children in a time of terror. The second half of the book is a picture book for kids that gives them a gentle introduction to terrorism and answers their most pressing questions.
Dr. Carole is known as ‘The Terrorist Therapist’-www.terroristtherapist.com
