But then, considering how often we’ve
seen the coverage of Paris’ attacks, I realized that for a kid could be
possible to lose touch with reality. They’re home all day and that’s what
they’re broadcasting 24/7. Unlimited TV time, all day long, as many kids. Eventually
some of them consider it as the normality.
There’s a lack of communication with
his parents, obviously. How to cope with this problem? Talking about it, first
of all.
They live with us, not on any other
planet. Nevertheless, if adults don’t comprehend, just imagine children. Why
carry out an attack, if they were going to kill themselves afterward? Will they
come back? Why killing innocent people? Were other children killed? Are we safe
here? Will we die and who were the people who died? Very simple questions with
very complicated answers to be fully accepted by youngsters. So complicate they
should be handled by a psychoanalyst.
And I am not a psychoanalyst. But I
thought about a couple of things. You can tell them about the tragedies of
life, in general and according to their age. Teach them not to hate others
because of terrorists: thank God they’re just a very small minority. Talk them
about life, which is not simple at all. Teach them not to judge different
people. First of all not to fear other religions: this has nothing to do with
religion. Teach them what real terror is (wars), not what madness is.
Most of all: ONE thing they utterly
must not do: watching these events on TV alone all day long. That’s not
reality, that’s perversion. They’ll have plenty of time to learn about
perversion, to learn about fearing a 5 years old refugee boy, to fear the need
of having a home, to learn about our sinful world and atrocities of this world,
to fear the dignity of starving people leaving their countries because of war,
not because they’re terrorists as rendered on TV.
Just talk to them with honesty and
sincerity (don’t let them learn through perverted networks).That will be enough
because they’re young, but understand everything: so much more than adults,
wherefore they’re still pure.
….Always humble,
Angiolino
