"  One of the innocent bystanders who was a victim in the Tucson shooting this past Saturday was a nine-year-old girl. Christina Green just &amp;quot;wanted to see how democracy worked.&amp;quot; I can&amp;#039;t even imagine \u2014 no, I can imagine \u2014 what it&amp;#039;s like for her parents, and it tears my heart to shreds. Parenting is already an emotional roller coaster from breakfast to lunch on any given day. But these parents went from one extreme to the other \u2014 from pride in a child one minute for showing exceptional curiosity and initiative \u2014 and the next minute, utter devastation because she is gone. My second thought is that my own daughter is never leaving the house. Of course, that&amp;#039;s ridiculous. But I do wonder how in the world her father and I are going to teach her to discover and embrace the world and to teach her to trust, while keeping her safe. How do we teach her to be safe, to be aware of and understand the gravity of these events, yet continue to succeed in a world capable of such violence? How are we going to teach her to endure hardship, to empathize with victims, yet still have the capacity for joy? To accept the realities of hatred, of tragedy, and yet not be paralyzed by them? What do you do to teach your kids to be independent, yet careful and smart? How will you talk to your kids about the Tucson shooting? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
