Preparing children for hurricanes
USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), May, 1993 by Fred Seligman
It is a philosophically, but emotionally healthy, position to inculcate in children that they have a cultural responsibility to gain ideas and experiences from their parents and pass them on to their own offspring. To some degree, the feeling of immortality and psychological well-being can increase by passing on these experiences from one generation to another.
Families should consider using the wonders of nature in this manner, so that "little Susan" or "little David" one day, when they are "Mommy Susan" or "Daddy David," may share with their own children how they experienced an eclipse or the circumstances surrounding their observance of Halley's Comet.
