Guidance For Parents On How To Talk To Children About Race, Police, And Witnessing Traumatic Events
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - Recent police-involved shootings in the U.S. have prompted many parents to have a conversation with their kids about race, policing and witnessing traumatic events.
CBS2 spoke with a psychologist who says the dialogue should always be ongoing.
"It's not just one talk, but a series of talks. And the talks are not just about strategies about how to behave and not being seen as suspicious, but most importantly, what I do for my own Black children, it's about modeling behaviors for them," said Dr. Jeffrey Gardere.
