Parenting experts in the UAE share how to talk to kids about recent events
A parent in Dubai told her son: "The sounds are dangerous, but we're safe inside." Experts say stay calm with young kids-they look to us for cues. Distract them with movement, like helping unload laundry, to release nervous energy. For older kids, set boundaries on social media and teach critical thinking. One mom explained things flying in the air, emphasizing UAE military keeps everyone safe. Key advice: Be honest, keep routines, and manage your own stress so you can reassure your children. "Your nervous system needs present-tense information," like listening to birds sing-nature goes silent in danger.
