IT'S IN THE NEWS - ongoing CURRENT AFFAIRS 202228 February 2022 (by admin) |
Sometimes it is difficult to explain to children what's going on regards current global affairs. It's already been a very difficult time for children coming to terms with global, national and local covid-19 issues. Children are exposed to so much.
Now, there are other MAJOR NEWS EVENTS available 24/7 that children get to read about, hear about and discuss. They may hear 'terminology and terms' that they ponder on, contemplate deeply and it can impact significantly on their mental health.
Current events in Ukraine or further afield can be daunting and worrying for small minds (let alone adults!). Extremely difficult to comprehend and certainly difficult to watch on the TV outlets.
NEWSROUND is a child-friendly NEWS OUTLET that you may well be familiar with. We have been using it with some of our children because it's about talking and listening to their worries, comments and concerns.
