It's a very difficult thing for us to understand.

And so

That's just one example of of something that three to five year olds really have a hard time understanding.

So when you have a very young child you want to really tailor your explanations

For them to be.

Very, very concrete.

Um so it could be for example a bad thing happened and somebody got hurt.

Um when he wasn't doing anything wrong.

And with a very young child.

You want to really hear your child I mean, with every age child you want to hear concerns.

But with a very young child.

Often kids just want to know whether they're gonna be safe.

And so helping them to understand how that relates to their own safety is very important.

And in the book actually I have a conversation that was

really guided by my f dear friend and colleague Doctor Bravada Garat Akinsanya.

of uh parents of uh African American parents

Of an eight year old boy.

Um in a situation where uh uh a black boy was

I believe hurt by the police.

And how they discuss that with their child in relation to their child's own worries about safety.
