I believe this is a great idea for the younger kids who don't know exactly what's going on or as to why they can't do certain things anymore. For instance one of the girls can't go fishing with her dad like they did every year. I think this is a great way to show that we as a nation really do care, because we don't always show it with our ways.

Kids Affected By The Oil Spill
In Florida, they are starting free mental health camps paid for by private donations and state funds for children in Kindergarten through the 6th grade that have been affected by the oil spill. While there they are able to talk in groups or in one-on-one meetings about their feelings on this problem. To get a better insight I'll leave a link to the website.

I think that mental health issues in children when it comes to the BP oil spill should be the last of Florida's worries. If you think about what we just learned about Piaget's theory. children in their pre-operational stage don't understand concrete logic and are not even able to see the view points of others. If they want to help someone, help the adults who have been effected, and financial help would probably be the most useful kind of help the state could give.
