In the tradition of Maria Shriver's What's Heaven?, respected journalist and mother Willow Bay helps parents with the difficult task of raising children in a post September 11th world.Our world was inalterably changed on September 11th. Even as parents rushed to turn off scary TV images and hide newspapers from curious eyes, it soon became clear that children can't always be protected from the harsh realities of the outside world. From the mouths of babes, questions will arise: Why do some people want to hurt us? What is anthrax? Am I safe at school? In a quest to find the answers that will both comfort and satisfy her own sons, award-winning journalist Willow Bay looks at the latest research and interviews a host of experts in the areas of child psychology and development. The result is TALKING TO YOUR KIDS IN TOUGH TIMES, a sensitive and practical primer for parents challenged with the daunting task of raising their children with love, honesty, and confidence in today's turbulent world.

This review is from: Talking to Your Kids in Tough Times: How to Answer Your Child's Questions About the World We Live In (Hardcover)
Willow Bay's years of experience as a TV journalist have paid off spectacularly in this timely and insightful book. In confronting the question of how to talk to our children about difficult, confusing and painful topics, Bay gracefully combines an impressive array of research with amusing anecdotes about her own young son. The book is full of practical advice and theoretical backup, all delivered in a style that's both intelligent and engagingly casual. This book is a must-buy for anyone concerned about bettering their communication with children of any age.
