Season 2: Episode 4
Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Talking to Kids About the News and Current Events
When newsworthy events happen in the world, kids need help making sense of it all. While you may not have all the answers to their questions (and that’s OK!), there are guiding principles you can follow that help with any type of difficult conversation. On this episode of Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, host Lynn Smith chats with licensed mental health therapist from the Children’s Strong4Life team, Jody Baumstein, to discuss what you can do when your child is looking at you with big eyes, expecting you to answer some of life’s toughest and most complex questions.
