Youth Eastside Services, recommends minimizing news exposure for young children because it can create unnecessary worries and fears. Sleep problems, headaches, stomach aches, excessive irritability and clinginess may be signs that a child is harboring too much stress. If you suspect your child is scared about something, imaginary play toys and drawing materials can help them express fears or feelings that they may not be able to put into words. For teens, their worries are often based more on what they know or are learning in school. They might be concerned about how the disaster could raise the likelihood of a quake or tsunami here, or the impact of radiation on food supplies. These can be addressed by exploring the questions via research, then talking about what you learn and how best to be prepared. Here are some other tips for helping kids when disasters hit: • Keep the news off when your kids are in ear shot and reduce talking about it when they might overhear. • Let your children know that their emotions are okay by acknowledging their feelings while providing reassurance. Don’t blithely dismiss concerns by telling them not to worry. • Encourage children to talk about their feelings. Ask what they have seen or heard and if there’s anything they’re worried about. Then give them as much information as you feel they need without overdoing it. • Use the news to share
your family values. For instance, you might point out the importance of helping those who are unable to help themselves. • With older children, use the news to discuss tough issues. Natural disasters,
