LIMIT THE NEWS

Creating a secure home environment is important for healthy coping. Too much news is not a good thing.

• Limit access to what may feel like scary and confusing information for kids.
• At the same time, kids shouldn’t be left in the dark
• Model calm responses while explaining and answering questions in a developmentally appropriate way.
