The suspect who rammed his truck into a Muslim family in London, Ont., killing four of its members and orphaning a child, has been charged with terrorism.
For many, the details of the attack have been difficult to process. It has left us asking how we begin to make sense of such senseless violence.
The past year and a half has been tumultuous, from inequalities laid bare by the pandemic to police brutality, anti-Asian racism, the unearthing of graves at a residential school, and now, the attack in London, Ont. Parents are asking how they can help their kids cope with everything happening around us.
Today in The Conversation Canada, Javeed Sukhera from Western University, who had a personal connection to the Afzaal family, writes about the impact of these tragedies on children and offers advice on helping them cope with trauma.
We must listen to our children, give them the space to process their emotions and have those conversations when they're ready to have them. As Sukhera notes: “Healing is a process, not a checklist.”

All the best,
