Over the last few years there have been several worrying stories in the news. Indeed, we regularly watch Newsround in school to ensure that children are getting a balanced view of world news at an age-appropriate level, as well as enjoying the positive, good news stories that appear every day! Now there are also so many ways of children experiencing the news today (radio, via their mobile phones, on TV and even on screens in waiting rooms!)

Here is a guide which has been recommended to us that might hep you manage your child’s feelings and anxieties about the news. It is suitable for children at home and at school.
