Do you leave it to the schools, or do you take it upon yourself to teach your children about 9/11?
Today's Moms Talk question is multi-faceted. We want to know if you teach your kids about Sept. 11. If you do, how do you explain it to them? And what lessons do you want your kids to learn from the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath? The second part of the discussion revolves around the topic of 9/11 in schools. Do you leave it up to the schools to teach your kids about it? If so, what kinds of activities or lesson plans have you seen them working on? If any teachers out there want to join in the discussion today and let us know how you handle 9/11 in schools — whether you teach in grade school or college level — we'd love to hear from you, too.
Patches across Northeast Ohio and America are talking to people about how their lives have changed since that day 10 years ago
Whether they decided to join the armed forces, learned life lessons on the compassion of others or just paid closer attention to world news, Americans were changed by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, in so many ways.

Those of all religions and ages will gather to reflect, remember and renew their faith and commitment to peace in the future on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks
When John Buchanan was asked eight months ago to recruit and chair a committee to plan a North Canton event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, he never imagined the community would support the initiative with such vigor. The former clergyman was approached by the Rev. Steve Stultz Costello, co-pastor of the North Canton Faith United Methodist Church, to organize the commemoration’s activities with the help of area Christians, Jews and Muslims and representatives of local schools and organizations. “This event really took on a life of its own quickly. The more people who found out about it, the more there were who wanted to be a part of it,” Buchanan said. “There are powerful memories of 9-11. People want to talk …

We are looking for North Canton residents who were directly affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, including the wars and other aftermath of that fateful day
Everyone remembers where they were on Sept. 11, 2001. But in every community across America, there are those who were more directly affected by the terrorist attacks and the confusing decade of war, fear and unrest that has followed. We are looking for those of you in North Canton who have felt that effect more closely than most, and we want to share your stories. Telling your stories is the best way locally we can help come to terms with that terrible day and the way it changed our country. Were you there or know someone who was in New York or D.C. that day? Did you go afterward to help? Did you or someone you know join the military because of the attacks? These are only a small sampling of the ways 9/11 may have affected you. If you …

I can't believe it has been a decade already. That tragic day will be one forever etched in my memory. My husband and I were only 20 when it happened and now have three children of our own. As the terrorist attacks of 9/11 are being talked about more and more, due to the 10th anniversary, I may have to explain what happened to our preschool-aged daughter very soon. I would appreciate advice on … more ›
