The fact that you reach for those analogies should tell you that maybe these drills aren't exactly the best.

Nobody said they couldn't handle them. I said it's traumatizing.
And so were all the things you just mentioned.
I'm ready to be a part of the generation where we learned to heal, not merely handle. I wish that for my child, too.
It's based on when we start teaching children to heal through trauma, as well as take responsibility for and learn to release their emotions.
These drills are simply trauma fuel. They're irresponsible actions taken by irresponsible, fear-driven adults who think they know what kids need when they themselves don't know how to be ok in an horrific situation or how to heal from it without developing toxic behaviors...
Toxic behaviors like the kind that traumatize children further.
