I have wondered whether we should put the news on now and again and discuss such topics with them, but they're only young once so haven't yet.

My son is only 2, so thankfully I haven't really had to deal with it yet, but I think that's what I cling onto as well - that whenever there is a tragedy, you see so many good people come together to help. That you can always look for the good and the beauty in the world, and hopefully raise our children to be the good people.

But when they're older, I suspect I'll try to answer their questions honestly while still helping them feel safe.

I can remember seeing the news of the Iraq war on the tv when I was little. But that was all I saw. These days news is everywhere. You can't escape it so it's important to find the balance and try to encourage how they perceive it, rather than frighten them. Even though that may be hard. #dreamteamJakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934219871664439831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781262356827554492.post-42678884072152215822017-02-14T14:37:52.038+00:002017-02-14T14:37:52.038+00:00It really is difficult, at the moment my little gi...It really is difficult, at the moment my little girl is only 2 so it's not that much of an issue.
