| See, by not noting that he was a terrible human being, that he was responsible for the deaths of Americans and especially Iranians and Iraqis and Yemenis and Lebanese, | |
| and he was the chief of terrorism that is part of the Iranian regime, It doesn't help kids think in a moral sense. | |
| We kill the killer. | |
| We kill the murderer. | |
| So, what will you say to your child? | |
| Qasem Soleimani was a top military leader in Iran, a country in the Middle East. | |
| How about a country whose regime is a tyranny? | |
| Whose regime gathers millions of its citizens to scream death to America? | |
| Well, before. | |
| Way before the current president was president. | |
| And is the only country in the world to threaten genocide, to announce genocide and the annihilation of a country in its attitude toward Israel. | |
| If kids are not given a moral explanation, For what happened, then they really are confused. | |
| The killing of Soleimani was a moral act against an immoral person. | |
| Why did the US take action against Soleimani? | |
| President Donald Trump has called Soleimani a terrorist. | |
| Trump says Soleimani ordered attacks on American military and diplomats. | |
| Trump says Soleimani ordered attacks on American military and diplomats and was planning attacks against Americans in the Middle East. | |
| For this reason, Trump... | |
| I don't know, do you talk to your... | |
| Do you talk to your kids with just the last name of a president? | |
| Mr. Trump or President Trump or the president? | |
| I think that that would be more appropriate. | |
| I wonder if they had Trump for kids. | |
| How to talk to your kids for time for kids. | |
| Did they do the same with President Obama? | |
| For this reason, Trump ordered the U.S. military to kill Soleimani. | |
| The drone attack took place at an airport in Baghdad in Iraq. | |
| An Iraqi leader was also killed. | |
| Why don't the U.S. and Iran get along? | |
| These are questions that the... | |
| Peace poses and then gives answers to. | |
| The US and Iran have a difficult relationship. | |
| Do you notice how neutral this whole thing is? | |
| There's no good and bad. | |
| There's no right and wrong. | |
| It's just we have a difficult relationship. | |
| It's been this way for many years. | |
| In 1979, Iran took 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage. | |
| They were released after 444 days. | |
| We have a difficult relationship. | |
| We don't have a difficult relationship with free countries. | |
| We have a difficult relationship with tyrannies. | |
| If my child is feeling worried, what should I do? | |
| Psychologist Paul Coleman, author of Finding Peace When Your Heart Is In Pieces, spoke to Time's Belinda Luscombe. | |
| He suggests following these safe steps. | |
| Search for hidden questions or fears. | |
| Ask what else is in their mind. | |
| Act. | |
| Keep routines going, homework, bedtime rituals, and so on. | |
| Feel feelings. | |
| Let them know their feelings make sense, says Coleman. | |
| Let them talk it out and show that you understand. | |
| My parents did not make sure, let me know that my feelings always made sense. | |
| May I suggest to parents that you not take that approach. | |
| Sometimes your feelings, you too. | |
| Now forget a 10-year-old. | |
| Sometimes our feelings don't make sense. | |
| That is one of the most important things to know in growing up and mastering life. | |
| Frequently our feelings don't make sense. | |
| If you feel... | |
| It's not a good general lesson. | |
| You don't ridicule your kids' feelings if they don't make sense, but you have them master it. | |
| I feel like I don't want to go to school. | |
| Well, that makes sense. | |
| It does. | |
| It makes perfect sense that you feel that you don't want to go to school. | |
| But I think most parents will say, so what? | |
| Mastering feelings, negating feelings, working against feelings is what most of us have to do much of the time. |
