‘Bad News’ Media & Talking with our Children.
Today, for ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ I chat with Fiona about media consumption and talking with our children.
We know that we can’t shield our children, because they will hear ‘bad news’… from peers, siblings, online… But how much is too much information? And what is age appropriate? (I cover both younger children and teens in this video).
This is one of the latest videos on our new set! On Channel 7 every Sunday morning at 9:30 am.
I have written about talking with anxious tweens and teens, about COVID-19 here. And other ‘bad news’ media here.
