That's a smart kid. It's hard to balance the part where you "can't make it all about me" with dealing with the part that really is about you. You experienced it, you lost everything that was familiar in a matter of minutes. Yes, a lot of people did, but your loss is no less important. But when an 8- year old kid can understand that when you put others first, it gives you purpose, and that in turn will give you strength, that's pretty amazing.

This was a special segment. We as parents are focused on moving on with repairing the material aspects, and normal day-to-day of our lives, and might forget to do just what that reporter did with this young man... just quietly sit and take a few minutes to talk about their feelings. I was just really drawn in by this and River's voice/story.

The interviewer should not negate what the boy's mom was teaching him about , that it's not about him. That is a healthy response when things happen to us. To be thankful as River said he is that they weren't hurt. ...that's wise teaching he's getting from his mom. It's more healthy to look outside of ourselves...not denying how we feel or not putting our head in the sand and pretending bad things didn't happen ...but looking at the whole picture which it seems River is doing. God bless him and his family. I'm glad they're alright, too.
