Coping with Disaster

“Disasters can leave children feeling frightened, confused, and insecure. Whether a child has personally experienced trauma, has merely seen the event on television, or has heard it discussed by adults, it is important for parents and teachers to be informed and ready to help if reactions to stress begin to occur.” See more at FEMA.

Ghostly Giraffes

“Unlike albinism, leicism inhibits skin cells from producing pigment, but other parts of their body can be dark colored.” Video courtesy of National Geographic.
