BOOK TOUR - Please Explain Terrorism to Me: A Story for Children, P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom for Their Parents by Laurie Zelinger and Ann Israeli



A Story for Children, P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom for their Parents 

Complemented by exquisite, colorful artwork, Dr. Zelinger skillfully crafts an easily relatable children's story using everyday situations, around the oppressive concept of Terrorism in the news. With masterful understanding of the child's world, new and frightening concepts are introduced carefully and gently, with the child's perspective in mind. Dr. Zelinger provides parent coaching to further the dialogue in her P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom section (Prepare, Explain, Answer, Reassure, Listen, Safeguard) where caregivers are given scripts to guide them, as well room for individuality. This pioneer book helps children and parents face a critical, often avoided topic with reassurance and calm.
"This book provides the 'PEARLS' of wisdom for parents and children to discuss a scary topic like terrorism in ways that promote healthy and authentic parent-child conversations that yield to mutual respect and bonding." 
--Marc A. Brackett, PhD., Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence

"Deep and yet accessible, her remarkable deciphering of the psychological factors that hinder the free communication between parents and children on terrorism is compelling. This fascinating guide amounts to a riveting lesson of clarity and to a masterpiece in bridging the unbridgeable." 
--Hon. Yehuda Lancry, Former Ambassador of Israel to the U.N.

"Please Explain 'Terrorism' to Me is a straightforward and down-to-earth treatment of a difficult subject. Dr. Zelinger uses common sense, a simple clarification of the basic issues, and reassurance to provide a deeper understanding of terrorism for kids--without a corresponding rise in anxiety." 
--Thomas W. Phelan, Ph.D., Psychologist/Author,

  1. I honestly don't know what I would say. I know it would need to be a conversation though. Ignoring it and the events that happen wouldn't be a good idea.

  2. Let the information they have launch the conversation, and then let kids steer the discussion with their questions and concerns. "Say something like, 'You may have heard something really sad happened, and I wanted to know what you had heard about that. If you're not sure they've heard anything—and don't want to open a can of worms—just ask about their day, or if they heard anything interesting, and see if they bring it up.

  3. That hate and intolerance shouldn't exist in the world

  4. This is truly a tough topic. I think I would say that it does not represent the country the people are from and we have to be vigilant and alert when we are out but we cannot live in fear because of it.

  5. I would tell him that there are angry people in this world that sometimes want to harm others but it does not mean we have to live our life in fear.

  6. I do not talk to my nephew about terrorism. If his parents want to, then they can. Not my place.

  7. I would say that there are people who think differently than us and want to do harm so they can show us who is superior. I tell my grandchildren that we must show love and forgiveness to our enemies and to never bring injury to anyone, not even our enemies. Someday love and peace will reign.

  8. Terrorism is a topic that's inevitable. Kids will learn about it from their friends, so it's best to be honest with them. I would tell my child that there are some bad people who hurt others because they are very angry. I would emphasize that it's never okay to hurt somebody else because we're feeling angry.

  9. I would try and break it down in the most simplistic terms. I would point out that individuals who become terrorists have made bad choices.

  10. I would listen to their questions and answer with an age appropriate response.
