Scary news is an inevitable part of life. Whether from television news reports, the car radio, digital media, or adult discussions, children are often bombarded with unsettling information about the world around them. When the events being described include violence, extreme weather events, a disease outbreak, or discussions of more dispersed threats such as climate change or terrorism, children can get frightened and overwhelmed just like adults. This book tackles children amp rsquo s anxiety and stress around how events are portrayed in the news and how kids might process news to become an informed media consumer. Parents and caregivers can be prepared to help them understand and process the messages around them by using this book.

What to Do When the News Scares You provides a way to help children put scary events into perspective. And, if children start to worry or become anxious about things they amp rsquo ve heard, there are ideas to help them calm down and cope.
