We not only want our children to be safe, but also to feel safe, because it can be even more difficult to protect them from fears than from a real threat. And we never know where or when they might hear or see something that will scare them. In this book, child and family psychologist Abigail Gewirtz talks about what, when and how to talk, and what to keep silent about depending on the age and character of the child and gives examples of conversations about natural disasters, military conflicts, school bullying and social inequality.
