Text says 'How to talk to children about conflict. - Start with yourself - how do you feel about it? - Consider what information you share - too much might be confusing and conflict is fast changing and uncertain. - Check in on how they're feeling - conflict stirs up many emotions and its important to acknowledge them. - Actively listen to them and their worries - if they want to talk about it, make space for them to do so, without interrupting. - Respond with messages of hope - although the situation is uncertain there are people helping.
