As the nation mourns the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other black Americans, images of unrest fill our screens. Discussions of racism and violence dominate the national conversation — and the conversations we’re having at home. Children are listening, and they may be scared, angry or confused about what’s going on, while parents (many of whom are struggling to manage our own emotions) are wondering how to help.

Talking to kids about racism and violence is difficult, but it’s also necessary — both now and as children grow up. Today we’re offering guidance and advice for helping your child process their feelings as well as ideas to help parents dig in to challenging questions without turning away ([link removed]).  We also recorded a frank, open conversation on this topic ([link removed]) between two of our experts, Dr. Kenya Hameed and Dr. Jamie Howard, and rounded up resources to help children build resilience and manage anxiety.
