Talking to Your Kids About Guns

Your child looks to you for protection. Do your best to assure him/her that you are there to offer that protection. However, with so much violence on television and in films, it is inevitable that your child will still be exposed to some frightening images. Many of these disturbing images will include guns. It is incredibly important to teach children that violence in entertainment is not real. However, guns do cause real injuries. Remind them often that they should stay away from guns and alert you should they ever encounter one.
