Ask your kids

In the meantime, ask them how you can help them feel better. Children are unique and resourceful, so it's important to keep the communication open. Even if there is no easy answer, they will hear that you have noticed them in the midst of the crisis. Be aware that children and young people will be hearing news broadcasts and adult conversations - they know when we are worried, and they will be hearing stories of death everyday, which is deeply unsettling.
