Experts say the key is calm, honest reassurance. Educators like Dr Neil Hopkin from Fortes Education advise parents to acknowledge children’s fears without dismissing them, explaining the situation in simple, age-appropriate terms while reinforcing that adults and authorities are working to keep everyone safe. Younger children often need emotional comfort and routine more than detailed explanations, while teenagers may prefer open conversations and truthful answers. Specialists also recommend limiting exposure to distressing news, maintaining daily routines such as meals, play and school schedules, and watching for signs of stress like sleep issues or clinginess. If anxiety persists for more than a couple of weeks, professionals suggest seeking support from medical or counselling experts. What are your thoughts — have your children asked questions about the recent developments, and how are you helping them feel reassured at home?
