National tragedies become galvanizing moments for nations to look both back and forward through a new lens. It is too soon to know the full implications of the events of September 11, 2001, as this book is being finalized just as the aftermath is taking shape. However, the impact of these tragic events on children and youth, and concern about them in terms of their sense of safety, were early considerations across the nation. This chapter focuses on the ways in which we might think of them not merely as the recipients of adult attention but also as resources for adults. The voices of young people are vitally important for us to hear, understand, and incorporate into our thoughts, research, and action. |
