How to Talk to Children about War

What should parents consider before talking to their children about war and terrorism?

Pay special attention to remaining calm when talking with children.  It is important for parents to keep their distress and anxiety under control and reassure children that they are there to help with any difficult emotions the child may be feeling. Children, in general, may have many questions about the war that should be answered simply and directly. Help them understand that our country's leaders are making decisions to ensure safety for all of us. Let children know and understand that war is serious, that it is not a game, and that it is meant to prevent bad things from happening in the future.  Be sure to speak in age appropriate language. Parents should emphasize that no person is an «enemy» simply because of their race, religion, culture, or ethnicity, and all people should be treated with respect.

In what type of setting should the discussion take place?

Parents should create a safe space for a child to openly talk about feelings of anxiety or fear - for example, at home where they feel secure. Young children should understand war is very serious, but they should not worry about anything happening close to home. Younger children need to be reassured that they are safe and secure at home. Many children, especially those in school, are already aware of the war and its implications. Parents and other adults who come into contact with children throughout the day should monitor rumors and correct misconceptions.  Use the opportunity of increased exposure to news to discuss war and make the discussions educational. Let older children express their views and opinions related to the events. Parents should listen in a respectful manner to the concerns of children, especially adolescents.

When should parents be concerned about their children?

Some children are particularly vulnerable to stress and anxiety regarding war, either because they have experienced prior trauma or loss, or they already suffer from depression, anxiety, or other mental health needs. Those children who have experienced prior loss may have increased worries about separation.  Parents and other adults should always keep each child's vulnerabilities in mind when responding to concerns about the war and terrorism. Children's viewing of TV news coverage of the war should be monitored as it can bring about distress and fear in children. If children are watching coverage, parents should be available to answer questions and concerns about what they are seeing.

In a democratic society it is probable that adults will have differing views and opinions about war; however, those disagreements should never be discussed in front of children. Parents and other adults should discuss war concerns directly and calmly.  It is important that adults address any concerns or feelings of anxiety that children may feel. Parents and other adults need to realize that children react to stressful situations in ways sometimes different than adults.

After School Programs Help Grow Healthy & Successful Kids/Teens

Children grow up in a society that demands expertise in everything. You really cannot sit back and decide that learning from textbooks is enough for the overall development of your child. It’s the age of specialization and your child cannot afford to miss out on this window of opportunity. So, scour your locality for the most advantageous programs and enroll them for the ones you think are the best.

After school programs are basically designed to develop a talent or a skill that is ignored by regular schools. These programs could be educational or recreational in nature. Whatever type they are, they basically aim to keep the child active and interested. The most important advantage of a good after school program is that it widens your child’s area of interests. He or she is introduced to new things, sometimes interesting, sometimes challenging. Mastering a new art form or a new skill increases the child’s self-esteem. It also allows you to introduce your child to new career options. A child attending a music class may decide that she likes it so much that she wants to make a career out of it in the long run.

Socialization is another great advantage of after school programs. Children get to meet others who share their interests and make new friendships. An acting class or a soccer class can be lots of fun. Many of these programs coach children for performances or matches. Performing on stage or playing a match can be a great experience for a young child.

After school programs keep your teenager busy. He or she thus has some amount of protection from destructive habits like drugs and alcohol. Surveys indicate that children who are kept busy through diverse absorbing activities are less prone to abuse, depression and burnout. Significant increase in achievement and attendance and a reduction in drop out rates are other advantages of a good after school programs.

Most after school programs have children interacting with one or more adult. This allows them to benefit from positive relationships with adults. Children often find it difficult to confide in parents and teachers, but may open up with other adults.

Many children are put into recreational after school programs so that they reduce weight and remain healthy. A newly emerging trend shows that about 15% children below the age of 16 are obese. Parents who cannot put their children on a strict diet resort to sports and games to burn fat. With cases of child diabetes on the increase, this has become a prime focus of many after school programs.

A good after school program has many benefits. It keeps the child entertained as well as busy, and thus prevents children from becoming addicted to TVs and giving the children ways to burn up their excess energy and explore their creativity, after school programs help to shape the overall personality of the child.

“Play Is the Work of the Child” Maria Montessori

Play activities are essential to healthy development for children and adolescents. Research shows that 75% of brain development occurs after birth. The activities engaged in by children both stimulate and influence the pattern of the connections made between the nerve cells. This process influences the development of fine and gross motor skills, language, socialization, personal awareness, emotional well-being, creativity, problem solving and learning ability.

The most important role that play can have is to help children to be active, make choices and practice actions to mastery. They should have experience with a wide variety of content (art, music, language, science, math, social relations) because each is important for the development of a complex and integrated brain. Play that links sensori-motor, cognitive, and social-emotional experiences provides an ideal setting from brain development.

According to Montessori, the play is essentially voluntary, enjoyable, purposeful and spontaneous. The child’s creativity can be expanded using problem solving skills, social skills, language skills and physical skills. The play helps expand on new ideas, helps the child to adapt socially, helps to thwart emotional problems.

If play is the work of the child, toys are the tools. Through toys, children learn about their world, themselves, and others. Toys teach children to figure out how things work, to pick up new ideas, to build muscle control and strength, to use their imagination, to solve problems. During the play children learn to cooperate with others.

Play content should come from the child’s own imagination and experiences. Unfortunately, the play experience for today’s child is often quite different from that of their parents. With the ever expanding influence of electronic media including TV, videos, video games and the internet, child are spending much of their time being passively entertained by or minimally interacting by way of a keyboard or control pad with an electronic device.

Even today’s toys are more often structured by onboard computers that dictate the play experience.  This robs children of unstructured play with other kids as well as individual playtime spent in creative play. Parents need to understand the play needs of their child and provide an environment to meet those needs.
