Should I talk to my children about war?

Should I talk to my children about war?

The answer it depends on a number of factors, including the age of the child, the likelihood they will hear it from another source, and what your family’s relationship to the conflict is.

If for any reason you think your child is going to hear about this, then get to them and talk to them.

If that’s not that case, you should only talk to your child, if under the age of eight, if it’s going to impact your family, if your family will really feel it.
