Talking to your child about War and Conflict

In light of recent news events around the world, we understand that some children may be hearing or seeing things that make them feel worried or confused. As a school, we always aim to support both our children and families when difficult topics arise.

We are sharing the attached guidance to help parents and carers talk with their children about news relating to war or conflict. It offers simple advice on how to answer questions honestly, reassure children, and help them make sense of what they may be hearing from news, social media, or conversations around them.

Link to the guidance:

Every child processes information differently, and emotions such as worry, confusion or curiosity are completely normal when hearing about distressing world events. Open, calm conversations can help children feel safe, heard and supported.

If your child has questions or worries, the guidance may help you approach these conversations in a reassuring and age-appropriate way.

As always, if you feel your child needs additional support, please do not hesitate to contact school.
