About this listen

As we continue to see violence, political conflict, and distressing news in the world, we bring to you this episode to help guide parents on how to talk to their kids about difficult news. The physical and mental effects of high stress-states, trauma, and disasters are devastating, and we want to let you know we are right here figuring this out with you.

  • Core concepts to share with your kids
  • Case 1: Your 7 year-old is scared of school shootings
  • Case 2: Your 14 year-old is afraid for attacks on the LGBTQ+ community
  • Case 3: Your 20 year-old is wanting to participate in ICE protests
