Parenting: Difficult Conversations

by

Is Santa Claus real? What happened to the cat? Why is that kid’s skin color different? Raising children means facing tough questions. Sesame Workshop’s child development experts have 50 years of experience with giving answers. They help us handle three sensitive subjects: magic, race, and death. Whether a school shooting or a deadly tornado, scary events in the news can leave parents struggling to know when — and how — they should talk with their kids about it. Rosemarie Truglio of Sesame Workshop and Tara Conley, a media studies professor at Montclair State University, give us tips.
