Keeping Our Kids Safe: The Hard Conversations About School Safety

 Keeping our kids safe when they’re out of our sight is every parent’s greatest fear — especially when it comes to school shootings. 💔

In this week’s episode of Why Am I Yelling? I’m talking about:
👉 The fear we all carry as parents
👉 How to talk to kids about safety without terrifying them
👉 What questions to ask your child’s school
👉 How to turn fear into advocacy + action

Because while we can’t be with our kids every second, we can prepare them, partner with schools, and use our collective voices to demand safer communities.

💛 You are not alone in this. 💛
