Rotarian DAVID HEATH will give a "State of the City Address - Lafayette". DAVID will be introduced by BILL HATFIELD or DAVID BOUGH.
PRESIDENT OSCAR introduced DAVID BOUGH, who in turn introduced Prof. Judith Myers-Walls who made a most interesting
presentation about talking to children about terrorism. Prof. Myers-Walls noted that: a) Kids know more than you think; b) Reassure them; c) Be available; d) Say how you feel/share your
feelings, i.e., tell young people if you feel afraid, angry, or frustrated, it can help them to know that others also are upset by these events; e) Realize their fears � support children's concerns
for people they do not know; f) Be aware of other emotions - look for feelings beyond fear. After reassuring kids, don't stop there. Studies have shown that
children also may feel sad or angry. Let them express that full range of emotions. Support the development of caring and empathy. Be careful not to encourage the
kind of response given by one child: "I don't care if there's a war, as long as it doesn't affect me and my family."; g) Get back to routine re-establish routine as
soon as possible; h) Find emotional outlets to help children, use creative outlets like art and music to express their feelings; i) Help them take action - one important
way to reduce stress is to take action; and j) Take action yourself, too. Prof. Myers-Walls closed by indicating that it is important for adults and children to know
how to relate to someone with whom we do not agree; with a Q & A session; and requested that a contribution be made to the Foundation in her name rather than receiving a Rotary Wheel.
