When Sad Stories Hit the News: How Parents Can Talk to Kids Without Fear

Talking to kids about the news requires honesty while maintaining a sense of security. Open conversations help build trust, allowing kids to ask questions and process difficult topics in a supportive environment. 

This week, I welcome Rebecca Jarvis, contributing anchor at Good Morning America, to discuss how parents can provide age-appropriate explanations for real-world concerns while ensuring their kids feel safe.

She joins me to discuss:

• The importance of honesty, security, and age-appropriate conversations about the news.
• How she navigates being present with her kids while managing a demanding career.
• How small positive actions can help us find purpose in uncertain times.

To connect with Rebecca Jarvis follow her on Instagram @rebeccajarvis and watch her on Good Morning America on ABC.
