Moms Talk: Addressing Natural Disasters Like Tornadoes With Children

This week, local parents share their thoughts on how to address natural disasters, such as the recent tornadoes that struck the St. Louis area, with young children.

Town and Country-Manchester Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support families right here in Town and Country and Manchester.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. 

This week, we start the conversation with a question about natural disasters. Tornadoes recently tore through the St. Louis area. Even if your family was not directly affected by the twisters, it's likely children have seen or heard something about it on TV or in school. They may have even heard the sirens and taken cover Friday night.
