(PRWEB) November 7, 2001 -- The world today is a scary place. Is your child ok? "Terrorism and Kids: Comforting Your Child" by Fern Reiss is a new book for parents and teachers. It offers strategies for coping, worry signs to watch for, and suggested answers for children who are now wondering about everything from hijackings to anthrax.
Did you know that:
- Children who see terrorism on television are as traumatized as if they had been there?
- Preoccupation with scraped knees can be a sign of trauma in kids?
- The more violence your children see the more fearful they will be in general?
"Terrorism and Kids" gives specific answers to children's questions: Will any bombs fall on us? Are there terrorists here? What about anthrax? It includes strategies for minimizing children's fear without being overprotective. And it suggests ways of helping kids cope with today's reality.
"A wonderful resource and must-have for every parent and teacher," says Aviva Bock, psychotherapist and Harvard Medical School instructor.
Author Fern Reiss witnessed firsthand the effects of terrorism and trauma on children in Israel, Africa, and Asia. She is an honors graduate from Harvard University with a degree in government and writes frequently about parenting and psychology for major magazines including Sesame Street, Scholastic Parent and Child, Moment, and Parade. She is the author of the award-winning book, "The Infertility Diet: Get Pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage."
"Terrorism and Kids" is available at bookstores and libraries nationwide, or online through www.TerrorismAndKids.com
