The recent tragedy in Litteton, Colorado heightens our concern and reminds us to be proactive.
Parents can help foster safe schools.
Here are a few ideas that parents in other communities have tried. Talk with your child about the violence he or she sees-on television, in video games, and perhaps in the neighborhood. Help your child understand the consequences of violent behavior. Teach your child how to problem solve. Praise your child when he or she handles anger or frustration in a healthy way.
