We need to tell our kids, and more importantly, we need to tell ourselves… kids are not mini adults, and we need to start watching them / treating them like the kids they are.
But don’t take my word for it. See how many 11 year olds you see today “watching” their 7, 4 and newborn siblings, while mommy is in the house “resting” (or talking on the phone, or on the avenue shopping.
The kids are ours, and WE are responsible for them.
A very sad day, and even sadder when you consider that very little will be learnt and incorporated from the tragedy.
