Experts say the key is calm, honest reassurance. Parents should acknowledge children’s fears without dismissing them, explain the situation in simple age-appropriate terms, and reassure them that authorities and adults are working to keep everyone safe. Younger children mainly need emotional comfort and routine, while teenagers often prefer open discussions and truthful explanations. Maintaining normal routines, limiting exposure to distressing news, and creating space for children to ask questions can help reduce anxiety. If signs of stress such as sleep problems, clinginess, or withdrawal persist for more than two weeks, professional support may help. What do you think? How are you explaining the current situation to your children, and what questions are they asking at home?
