Insometimes worry that kids will get overly anxious or even depressednif we spend time talking about what to do in a disaster. However,napparently most people do know that disaster is always a possibility,nand they feel stronger and more confident about dealing with ANYthingnif they’ve planned for a possible emergency or disaster.

nInreally enjoyed reading astronaut Chris Hadfield’s book An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth. In the book, he mentionsnhow calm and capable astronauts are in difficult situations –nprecisely because they prepare and prepare and prepare some more,nasking themselves what terrible thing MIGHT happen? And how cannprevent it? And if it happens anyway, how can we cope with it?
