A generation of children are being traumatized by frequent school shootings and lockdown drills.  Parents need to be educated about the different lockdown drills in order to have an open and honest dialogue with their kids.  Many kids don't feel safe in school.

In my book, Lockdown:  Talking To Your Kids About School Violence, I share with the reader children's stories of lockdown drills as well as give parents strategies to help teach their children learn coping skills.  
Parents need to be armed with knowledge and techniques to help their children heal and thrive in this climate of fear.
