In response to the article on your site about what to tell my children about what's happening in Japan. My son has just turned 4, and came home from school yesterday with information about "a giant wave which could cover the whole world". Upon further enquiry it became apparent that the head of department in his pre-school had held a general discussion about the happenings in Japan and the Tsunami, wanting to collect funds to donate to the cause. I do believe the intentions to be noble, however I question the rationale of informing young toddlers of the current happenings particularly given the upcoming vacations and specifically my family holiday to KZN. My son is quite concerned about this giant wave and I feel that such information should be shared at my discretion and not that of the teacher in a general forum. Do you believe I am over-reacting?
