If you're wondering how to talk to your children about the riots or if they have questions about what's happening, a psychologist and a teacher advise on how to find the right words.
How to talk to kids about challenging and emotive events is tricky, and never has it been more important to talk to your child about feelings than in light of current news events. Children will likely have heard about the riots taking place in the UK, either from seeing pictures and videos online or hearing others talk about them. Your child might be asking you direct questions, or you might wonder how much they know if they've not mentioned these events at all.
