How to talk to children about the war in Ukraine
How to talk to children about the war in Ukraine
THIS is not a cheery read...but it is important.
The "active listening" paragraph is powerful.
Sometimes we simply don't have the answers.
My husband Paul is out in Ukraine
He's leading the two ITV news teams reporting out of Kyiv.
Meanwhile in sunny Surrey, UK, I promised Paul that I'd water his "chilli children" and fill the bird feeders in his absence. As I type, there's a fat funny pigeon perched on the fence waiting for the stray seeds to fall.
The Wildlife Trust have written more about Spring bird behaviour HERE and there's also a lovely flower spotting guide you may like to share with you kids.
Rather than the war.
