When a terrorist attack occurs, children will hear about it in a number of different ways, some of which may be inaccurate, untrue, or based on rumour or speculation. Wherever they happen, events may create feelings of personal anxiety and fear that children can find hard to articulate: giving them a context to discuss, question and express their thoughts and feelings will help them to process what has happened in a safe environment with a trusted adult. 

Please see below some ideas on how to discuss these issues with your child.

Here are some more links to help you discuss recent events with your child. Copy and paste the link into your address bar to open.
