The Family & Youth Institute: “This year marks the twentieth anniversary of September 11th. As parents, you may be concerned about what your children and teens may experience in schools and social circles during this upcoming anniversary. Fortunately, research on Muslim American youth shows that they don’t get negatively impacted when they experience Islamophobia if parents have supportive conversations with them. So your talks and open ears matter! In this original article, we discuss strategies to help your children cope and navigate this historical event.”
