How do you explain to an 8 year old what 9/11 is?

[bowhunterchris]

Probably about the same way you explain to them Pearl Harbor

[Traildust]

All righty then

That should help you talk to your son about using drugs!

[Jaybo31]

Tell him how crooked our government is, and what they allowed to happen. Explain how biased the media is, and how they made us think 2 jets just vaporized, yet one of the hijackers passports turned up in the rubble :-/. Tell him it was one of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated against the people of American people, by a group we helped fund. Tell him how we supposedly got the perp, but you can't see him and we're dump him in the Ocean so nothing can be proved. Tell him how many of the Navy seals that were on that mission have died since. And the list goes on. I feel for all the people who lost there lives, but I'm not pointing the blame where it's not. Tin foil hat on securely, flame away.

How To Talk To Your Kids About 9/11

[AtTheWall]

Find some old video of the Twin Towers, both planes flying into them and simply tell him

We have people that want to kill us.....we call them TERRORISTS.

Terrorists don't fight fair, they kill innocent people.

There is evil in this world and there are evil people. There are also good and courageous people that will give their lives if necessary to stop those evil people!

How about the Holocaust? We were in Germany this summer--wife, son, and 11-y.o. granddaughter. We visited a "labor camp" (not an extermination camp like Auschwitz) and our granddaughter really took it hard. "How can people do things like that to other people?" was her question to me--all I could say was to ask her what kind of a will God has given us--free will--and remind her that evil came into the world with Adam and Eve and has been with us since then.

My wife and I went to Auschwitz this summer, they won't even allow children under the age of 14 to go in. Hard to grasp the evil that went on in that place, horrible part of human history.
