How parents and other adults respond can have a big impact on how a young person handles the news
Retired child and adolescent psychiatrist and current developmental life coach Annie Hempstead advises parents to start by listening, asking open ended questions, and continuing to listen. “There are times when our anxiety is high enough that we just want to fix it. We just want to make it OK and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that desire. But sometimes we skip a step” — asking your kids how they are feeling, what they are hearing and thinking about.
Kerry Gallagher, a veteran educator who currently serves as assistant principal for teaching and learning at St. John’s Prep in Danvers, Mass., and as ConnectSafely’s education director, said that parents of older adolescents should “share information they have checked through lateral reading or other fact checking techniques and comment on information that is inaccurate to redirect the teens to information that is accurate.
Online news sources and images shared on social media can be even more explicit than TV news, so talk with your kids about what they are seeing and how they are responding to stories, images and videos. “We are all trying to navigate the information that is coming at us quickly,” Gallagher said. “The situation changes rapidly hour to hour. It is OK to step away for a while and then check in when you are rested and ready, both cognitively and emotionally.”
