Talking to your Child In response to questions from parents about the best way to handle the news regarding the Starr report, we asked a number of child and family therapists from around the country to share their thoughts. If you'd like to discuss this further with any of the therapists, please e-mail them at the address below. Although the media attention around our President's affair and attempted cover-up are truly troubling for all of us, this actually ma y provide parents with an opportunity to talk to their children about a multitude of topics. Although President Clinton may be a very visible figure in a child's eyes, their parents actions are far more influential.
Parents lead by example first and through their words second.
Although this is a very painful time in our American Story, I believe there are some wonderful lessons to be learned by all of us as we reconnect with our children. It is an opportunity to see how we are all connected to history and the news as it occurs. We are so blessed because we have the ability, capacity, potential to make choices all through life. Write it down and talk about it. Loving communication and action takes vigilence and focus.
