My latest ‘FAB Mom on 2’ segment on CBS Los Angeles? How to talk to other parents about guns. Yes, anchor Pat Harvey and I veered outside our usual fun-and-fabulous-tips-for-all format. Thanks to recent tragic stories in the news (involving gun violence) and the month of June being National Safety Month, we tackled a topic that gets a lot folks’ blood boiling these days…
Why? Because parents need to parent… and that includes talking about things that scare us in the name of safety.
This wasn’t a politically-charged chat, but rather a call-to-action should you be someone that fears your child might be spending a lot time at a friend’s house whose parents happen to own guns: Gun ownership is currently a right and a choice and we need not fear opening up the topic with other parents — should there be concern — in the name of education and communication.
Besides making it crystal clear to our own kids about what’s safe, what’s not and what to get away from fast when guns in the house are concerned, our brief on-air discussion to help broach the topic with other parents is right here:
