David J. Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, is a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement, located at the University of Southern California School of Social Work. Talking to your children about natural disasters may not seem like a priority, but when disaster strikes, panic can set in and emotions can run high.
It may not make much sense to your child, depending on how old they are, but it's still important to let them know the importance of being safe during a disaster.
What are the safety precautions you should discuss with your children?
David Schonfeld, MD, FAAP, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss how you can talk to your children about preparing for a natural disaster.
