This week, we start the conversation with a question about Osama bin Laden. News came late Sunday night that he was killed by U.S. troops in a military mission. Since then, his face has been plastered across television stations and the Internet nonstop. It's hard not to see his face or hear his name, sometimes sparking questions from young children that may leave parents unsure of how to respond. Do you explain who bin Laden is? Do you explain that he's dead? What do you discuss with a child asking questions about what he or she is seeing and hearing? Those questions bring us to this week's parenting question.
