Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Concern for Iranian Protestors and Citizens

delbows - I agree.

I channel my son's heightened concerns into charities and related things. We have an RSPB (Protection or Birds)which he is involved with, and work with old people and disabled people in the community through our local church and scouts. This tends to help alleviate some of the sensitivity in that he knows he can help make a difference and the world a better place in his own backyard. While not wishing to keep him ignorant, I try to limit his exposure to things that make me angry, which he picks up on and worries about. These are usually things I can only get angry about but unfortunately can do little about in any practical way.
