Once your family is out of harm's way, children can still be frightened or confused. Here are some tips to help them feel safe again:
Limit TV time:
Intense media coverage of disasters can frighten young children and disturb teenagers as well.
Listen:
Find out your child's concerns about the situation.
Comfort:
Let them know their safety is your top priority.
Be aware:
Changes in sleeping, eating and other behaviors can indicate distress. Seek professional support and counseling if they persist.
Make time:
Help kids understand they're safe and secure by talking, playing and other family activities.
Keep calm and carry on:
Your child will learn how to deal with these events from you.
Care:
Make a point of showing sensitivity toward other families impacted by the disaster.
Routine:
Help your children return to normal activities including school, sports and play groups.
Volunteer:
Helping others can give your child a sense of control, security and empathy.
