There are a number of websites available to help you talk to your child about Terrorist attacks. Please check out the NSPCC website to for support and follow the 3 important points below. How to talk to children about terror attacks: 1. Listen carefully to a child’s fears and worries It’s crucial to make sure their concerns are heard and not dismissed - once you know what they’re worried about, you can understand. Acknowledge their fears instead of making them feel silly for being afraid. 2. Offer reassurance and comfort The NSPCC advises avoiding complicated and worrying explanations that could leave children more frightened and confused - instead, reassure and comfort them. It’s important to remind children that they’re safe and surrounded by security. 3. Help them find advice and support Children can find it easier to understand distressing events and feelings by talking to services such as Childline, which is free, confidential and available 24/7.
