Human Development
Helping Children During & After a Disaster
Effectively parenting during an active fire and its aftermath may seem near impossible. Especially when tensions are high, and stress and uncertainty rule daily life. When you feel like there’s nothing you can do, just know you can at least control how you help your children through this time. Children look to their parents, teachers, and other caregivers to learn how to cope during and after the events; turning to them for information, comfort, and help. Responding to their needs and worries in a healthy way will help them deal with all of the complex emotions associated with this traumatic experience.
