The Bible says: "Be quick to listen, slow to speak." (James 1:19) Initially, your children may be reluctant to express their fears and concerns, but by patiently listening, you will help them to open up.
. Create and environment that makes it comfortable for your children to express themselves. Some children talk more readily while relaxed, such as when riding in the car or walking, rather than when sitting with a parent face-to face.
. Make sure that your children are not overexposed to disturbing news reports.
. Let your children know what steps you have taken to keep the family safe.
. Have a plan for emergencies, and rehearse it with your children.
