Family Service of RI is the local site for the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, offering tips for parents regarding media coverage in the aftermath of the recent tragedy in Colorado:
--Limit your child's exposure to media coverage. The younger the child, the less exposure s/he should have. You may choose to eliminate all exposure for very young children. Consider family activities away from media, including the Internet and social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.
--If they are watching, watch what they watch. Read what they read. Discuss the news stories with them, asking about their thoughts and feelings. Ask what they've seen on the Internet, including in social media.
