8 tips to support and comfort your children
The 24-hour news cycle, internet and social media means that we are receiving more news from around the world than ever before and, sadly, much of it concerns conflict and war.
As protective as most parents strive to be, children are surrounded by electronic media and often absorb traumatising images and words. In response, The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has published How to talk to your children about conflict and war (8 tips to support and comfort your children). The article has handy tips for parents and carers about how to respond to children’s questions about conflict and war, finding age-appropriate answers, and managing anxiety in children.
