- not need to talk too much horror and showing the bloodshed.
- preschoolers should not talk about the concentration camps, about tortured children and hunger when eating dogs and cats.Because of this, babies may experience nightmares and nervous tics.But in high school, you need to have to give this information.
- No need to give false information.Of course, preschoolers importantly - to know that the Russian people had won.But older children should have to understand that not everything was so smooth that the Russian were not ready for war, and even almost passed Moscow.

Consider, for our children is almost can not meet these veterans and hear the true stories.Toddlers may be familiar only with the "children of war".But they may not know much because of their age and to transfer all the pain and horror of hostilities.
Yes, almost all families touched War.Many of our ancestors fought bravely with the enemy, suffered all the torments and burdens.It must never happen again.But that did not happen, children need to know all of the time.No need to keep quiet.Talk to children about the war, of the Great Victory, the courage of the Russian people.
conversations, books, movies, occasional meetings with veterans - it is the one unbreakable thread that helps us to connect with the past.Do not break it.It should be remembered and honored.
