So DS7 recently learned that his dad will be going to Afghanistan in June. I knew he had an idea what was going on in Afghanistan, since I'm a bit of a news junkie and watch the news religiously whenever possible. But I didn't realize that he knew as much as he does. He was upset the other day because he was afraid that "The Taliban are gonna shoot daddy!" This told me, first of all, that I may need to stop watching the news until he is in bed. But more importantly, how can I reassure him without lying to him? I don't want to tell him daddy's going to be fine - because to be honest, I don't know that for sure. But I also don't want to make him worry even more. Any ideas?
