How To Talk To Your Kids About Scary World Events

Between events in Ukraine and COVID and school shootings and
other world events, there are a lot of news stories that can feel
scary to kids.  They hear things on the news, at school, and
from adults talking that we may not even be aware of.  Kids
are often good at observing and listening, but not as able to
process and interpret it accurately.   68% of kids said the
news made them anxious, angry, or depressed.  As expats we
are often more involved in events and it’s important to know how
to address this topic with kids in a way that will support their
mental health rather than detract from it.   On today’s
podcast I’d like to address how to talk to kids about them. 
  I'll be sharing 4 tools about how to do this.
