How do you talk with your toddlers about what‘s going on in the world right now? It’s important to discuss but in a way that they can understand. The conversation doesn’t have to go into detail about today’s events in it’s entirety, it just needs to touch on the differences of people and the importance of understanding and respecting those differences. It is also important for me to discuss with my kids about their feelings and expressing them the correct way. We discuss anger, sadness, anxiousness, and frustration. This way my kids understand how, when, and who to direct those feelings towards the healthy way.
