MORE RESOURCES ON CHILDREN AND WAR

In response to the ExchangeEveryDay for March 27, 2003, where we listed a number of resources for talking to children about war, readers sent in these additional resources:

* Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR) has developed a free, 20-page guide called “Talking to Children about War and Violence in the World.” This guide, available at www.esrnational.org, provides answers to the most frequently asked questions by parents and teachers about how to discuss war and other violent events with children.

* "How parents can talk to their children about war: advice from Cornell child-development expert James Garbarino" can be found in the Free Resources section of www.ChildCareExchange.com

*  Coordinators' Notebook No. 19 on "Children as Zones of Peace"
http://www.ecdgroup.com/issue_19_children_as_zones_of_peace.asp

*  The chapters on Courage, Tolerance, and Compassion in The Values Book by P. Schiller, and T. Bryant, from Gryphon House in Beltsville, Maryland.

* Brochure for parents from the Parents as Teachers National Center at www.patnc.org under "What's New". 

* "Supporting Young Children During War and Conflict," from NAEYC offers with links to other resources, including a new article by Diane Levin. You can find it at http://www.naeyc.org/resources/news/Supporting_Children.htm.
