How should I talk to my child about natural disasters?

If your family watches the news coverage of disasters on television, you can use the opportunity to talk about community and how we can help our fellow citizens. Rather than allowing your children to feel helpless when traumas occur, empower them with the ability to take action. Something as simple as bringing canned goods to a food shelter, or setting up a lemonade stand with proceeds to benefit disaster victims, will give your children a great sense of pride -- and do a world of good!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
