Also, about home not being a place, I don't believe kids think like that.
Moving anywhere is downright traumatic to all but the youngest of them.
We've got refugees, excuse me, evacuees, here in NC and several are kids
of
elementary school age. It's got to be really scary for them to lose all
that
they have known, living in a shelter and to have no friends. Kids need
security and as hard as it is for adults to go through this, it is 10
times
harder for the kids.

Oh, absolutely. As a kid, "home" was my house, my friends, and my toys. To
have that wrenched from me (as it was when, as an 9 year old, we moved to a
big, new city) was traumatic. I didn't come to my "home-is-a-state-of-mind
epiphany" until I was in my late 30s.

What N.O. kids are going through right now has to be combination of the
world's greatest adventure, and the world's greatest trauma... Luckily,
kids are incredibly resilient.
