It happened around 9am Eastern time. I would just tell him the truth of what happened. Tell him that there are crazy people out there in the world that do terrible things.

very carefully. The best thing to do is to get information about the tragedy from different sources and then let the 11 yr old ask questions. Allow them to ask whatever questions they need to instead of explaining the event through the questions you had/have about it, let them ask the questions. Kids think on a whole different level than us adults. When they ask a question you don't know the answer to, tell them that you don't know but this is a good way for the two of you to investigate together and get some understanding. Seeing the tragedy through my eyes and then living it through my 7 & 8 yr old, gave me a whole different perspective on the event.

Well, hopefully your daughter knows about death, and tell her that everything happens for a reason. Tell her that it was a terrible attack by terrible people called terrorists. It happend on Sept. 11 2001. Although I am not totally sure on the time

I wish I could help, but I'm in my 50's and even I don't understand or would know where to begin explaining the worst day for Americans. Good luck. Sorry I wasn't able to be of some help

Tell him the truth as you see it and encourage him to form his own opinions. I think it happened at about 9:30 am New York time.

There are blind people in the world that think that violence in the only way to get people's attention or the right way of solving problem. On Sept. 11th 2001, a group of people attacked the United States etc etc....

Just tell him/her. You hide them from reality forever and 11 is an age old enough to take it. It was early morning it happened.

It was 9:15 NYC time. Just explain it to her like any other US history lesson.

Take her to the library, there are over 50 books on the subject. There will be something age appropriate for her.
