Wildfire
Helping children affected by the wildfire is an important part of parents' and caregivers’ roles. Children may become upset or withdrawn, while others can’t stop talking about the experience. Use simple, age-appropriate explanations about what happened during the disaster. One key way to help children feel safe is by providing reassurance that many caring adults are working together to keep them safe. For older children, ask them what they know and what questions they may have. #Fitandhealthykids
