How To Talk To Kids About War


Listen Later

If you’ve been wondering how to talk to your kids about war… you’re not alone.

With global conflict dominating headlines, many parents are finding themselves having conversations they never expected to have. Conversations about safety, fear, and what’s happening in the world.

In this episode, I walk you through how to talk to children about war in a way that keeps them feeling safe, informed, and emotionally steady.

You’ll learn:

  • What to say (and what not to say) to kids about war
  • How to manage your child’s fear and anxiety
  • Why “safety first” is the most important starting point
  • How to explain complex global conflict in age-appropriate ways
  • How to handle conversations differently for younger kids vs tweens and teens
  • What to do if your child has already heard things at school or online
  • How to set boundaries around news, social media, and exposure
  • How to use this moment to build resilience, emotional literacy, and critical thinking.


This isn’t about having the “perfect” conversation.


It’s about being the calm, steady place your child comes back to when the world feels uncertain.


If you’re a parent trying to support your child through scary or confusing world events, this episode will give you practical tools, language, and confidence to do that well.


🎧 Listen now and feel more equipped to have one of the hardest parenting conversations of our time.
