There are no "right" or "wrong" ways to talk with children about any natural disasters, however, these are still important conversations to have. I really don't think you should force children to talk about such disasters as Hurricane Irene unless they are ready. All children may not want to talk. They may feel more comfortable drawing pictures. We should give children can't honest answers and information, as well as, use words they can understand. While discussing disasters, let children know they are safe at school but also let them know you can't promise that there wont be another natural disaster. The following sites I found could be the most useful ad appropriate for my grade level and would help to address teaching children about hurricanes.
