Everyone copes differently and on their own timeline with traumatic events<br \/>\n    like a natural disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Children, including babies and toddlers, can be left feeling frightened and insecure. It\u2019s important to recognize these reactions and help them to cope<br \/>\n    with their feelings. Most children can thrive and recover with the right support.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s equally important for adults to manage their own self-care and feelings. This makes the earthquake less traumatic for the children around them.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>Tips for Helping Children to Cope<\/strong><\/u> <\/p>\n<p>Look for opportunities at home and in early care and learning settings for children to express their feelings in their own way.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Draw or paint a story<\/li>\n<li>Write a story or letter about the experience<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctsn.org\/sites\/default\/files\/resources\/\/trinka_sam_the_day_the_earth_shook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Act out in dramatic play, through puppets, and\/or create a social story<\/a>        <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also allow for unstructured time and space to encourage natural conversation.
