I'm not saying that's all we (adults) should talk about -- but I think parents should feel comfortable discussing these types of subjects/issues, with other parents, in front of/around our children. Kids should SEE that their parents really are open to having these types of discussions. They should see & hear that we can handle such discussions. If it's never discussed, or only talked about privately, quietly, & kept hush-hush, believe me, our kids will get the message that it shouldn't be brought up.

Edited to add: Yes, of course, we should take it to God in prayer [as well]. I agree.

I think you are right about this. And I agree, much prayer is needed about it.
