About this audiobook
How do you talk to children about war without frightening them or losing their trust?
When Children Ask About War is a practical guide for parents, teachers and caregivers who want to answer children's difficult questions with honesty, sensitivity and care. It offers practical advice on how to explain frightening news in an age-appropriate way, address children's fears, help them feel safe and maintain trust when the world feels uncertain.
Alongside the practical guidance, the book includes 10 additional stories that bring these challenging situations to life and help readers see how children may experience and understand war. Because sometimes, stories can express what words alone cannot.
Children don't need all the answers. They need adults who are willing to listen, explain and reassure them.
