Explaining violence in the news to kids


By AGENCY

Parents may find it difficult to decide how and what to discuss about violent acts reported in the media with their children in order to best help them process the information appropriately. — TNS

After any major act of violence that dominates the news, families struggle with what they should say to children to help them cope with the information.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages parents, teachers, child care providers and others who work closely with children to present information in a way that children can understand, adjust to and cope with.
