Episode 8
In this episode we discuss how to talk to our kids about the sometimes scary, senseless and tragic things that happen in our world in a responsive, supportive and comforting way without creating more fear and insecurity for them. Breaking news reports are almost inescapable. Although bad things happen, and we live in a 24/7 news cycle our kids aren't necessarily mature enough to understand and cope. I'll share some helpful ways to discuss these types of events to help them feel safe, secure and connected.
