This latest installment in the bestselling What To Do series
tackles children's feelings of anxiety around current events and
what is portrayed in the news. Scary news is an inevitable part of
life. This book can support and guide efforts to help scary news
seem a bit more manageable for the young people. Whether from
television news reports, the car radio, digital media, or adult
discussions, children are often bombarded with information about
the world around them. When the events being described include
violence, extreme weather events, a disease outbreak, or
discussions of more dispersed threats such as climate change,
children may become frightened and overwhelmed. Parents and
caregivers can be prepared to help them understand and process the
messages around them by using this book. What to Do When the News
Scares You provides a way to help children put scary events into
perspective. And, if children start to worry or become anxious
about things they've heard, there are ideas to help them calm down
and cope. This book also helps children identify reporters' efforts
to add excitement to the story which may also make threats seem
more imminent, universal, and extreme. Read and complete the
activities in What to Do When the News Scares You with your child
to help them to understand the news in context-who, what, where,
when, how-as a means of introducing a sense of perspective.
