Talking About War, Conflict and World News

The world is a scary place right now, and children and young people are looking to the adults in their lives to help them make sense of what’s going on. We’re frightened too, but its important that we know how to answer questions in ways that help children and young people understand what’s happening without increasing their anxiety, or ours.

At RocketEd, we’ve collated a range of links to resources to help anyone thinking about how to talk to children and young people about war, conflict or world news in general. These have been arranged into those for parent/carers, schools and professionals, and those for children and young people. We hope you find them useful.
