The Juggling ActDaily Coronavirus Check-in: The book helping to talk to kids about scary stuff on the news
It’s been really interesting to see how kids have responded to all of the major events this year - bushfires, black lives matter and a global pandemic (and that's enough now okay, thanks world.) I’ve let my kids dictate any conversations around these topics and tried to answer in an age-appropriate way, but it can be difficult to know what to say or even if that's the right approach. Mum-of-two from the Gold Coast Alicia Millier faced the same problem earlier in the year, so she decided to do something to help support parents and educate kids. Prompted by the bushfires, she wrote a book called Mummy, The Bush Is On Fire, that aims to help us start those tough conversations.
