Our kids hear so much bad and frightening news, such as Avian (bird) Flu. It is important that we as parents are talking and praying with our kids about what they see and hear in the news before their fears blow out of proportion.
Of course my son knows I travel to Asia and in fact lived in China where influenza is birthed. So yes, I told him too of precautions I take, vaccines which are available against the flu virus and most importantly, that God is in control so I don’t have to worry. I suggested to Josh that he too can pray for me when I travel and that he is under God’s protection. I took it another step and said we can do something positive and helpful for other kids. We talked about what he could tell his friends at school should they get scared. We talked about how we could pray together for kids in China. And we talked about giving to help fund research. All these things helped Josh face the issue of Bird Flu in a different light. I know that Josh is not completely over his fears. He hears more and more about Bird Flu and I know that when kids are sick at school Josh wonders of they “have it.” That is why I keep up to date with Josh about what is going on without making Bird Flu an issue or blowing it out of proportion. I hear in his prayers that it is sometimes on his mind, other times not. So I keep a balance in how or when I approach the subject. And of course I make the point to always pray God’s protection over us as a family and to keep our house safe. In this way Josh gets a perspective on life which doesn’t suggest that danger is non-existent but rather that through action and prayer we don’t have to live in fear.
