The focus was on how to talk to young children about tragedies, how to answer their questions and provide them with a sense of safety and security.
Almost 60 people attended. The sadness in the air at the school was palpable.

| Cindy Rzasa Bess makes a point Tuesday night. |
The workshop was led by developmental psychologist Cindy Rzasa Bess, PhD., an educational consultant, who offered a lot of good advice during the 90-minute session.
Some suggestions sound simple - hug the children, listen to their concerns, help them express their feelings, maintain daily routines.
But at a time when everyone is reeling in disbelief at the tragedy that unfolded at Sandy Hook Elementary School it's important that they be highlighted.
A story about the workshop will appear in the newspaper later this week.
