How To Help Kids Feel Safe After Tragedies
ResumeOne parent in the traumatized community of Newtown, Conn., says people always considered it "the safest place in America" before Friday's elementary school shooting that left 26 dead, including 20 children.
Around the country, parents are talking to their children about the tragedy.

He spoke with WBUR's Morning Edition about how parents and others can help kids deal with what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
