For all the parents out there... This is very helpful for our scared kiddies. Stay Safe Stay Strong ❤

My 7 year old is struggling to sleep tonight and is having terrible nightmares 💔 due to the 'baddies' she saw and heard about today on the news and in our community. We couldn't control the mayhem of watsapp messages, phonecalls and video footage. As parents, we tried to react in a moderate way...but we were all scared and devastated by what we were seeing! It's human to struggle to control your fears...whether you are young or old.

Here are some tips to help your child get through this.

"Limit how much media coverage your child sees or hears

Turn off the TV and radio to help protect children from being overwhelmed with the repeated stories and video images. Also avoid letting them see graphic pictures in newspapers, magazines and social media.

If you choose to have the TV on, watch with your child and talk about what you see. Answer your child's questions.

Help your child feel safe

Tell your child they are safe, that they are your main concern and you will not leave them alone.

Be honest with your child

Your child will be aware that something has happened. Before answering questions, ask your child what they know and want to know.

Give simple, honest answers, but also give comfort. You might say things like, "A few people made some bad decisions"... or "Most people are good."

Listen to your child's feelings and concerns. It is important to be honest about your own fears and worries, but keep in mind that children need to know people can have strong feelings and still cope with hard situations.

Encourage your child to ask questions at any time.

Be aware of your child's feelings

It's OK if your child doesn't want to talk about it with you, but remain aware of changes in mood and how your child acts.

Coach your child in setting limits with friends or others when talking about events.

Some children may show what they're thinking through their pictures or their play. This can relieve stress, give you clues to their concerns and open the door for talking about their feelings."
