NOTE

Navigating the Impact of hard Information on Children

It's important not to oversimplify how to handle hard and sad information when it comes to children, as it is a nuanced and messy process. Principles should guide the approach, with the belief that providing information is less scary for kids than leaving them feeling alone and confused. While it's crucial not to overwhelm children with scary information, it's equally important to consider what children may be noticing and picking up on in difficult situations, as their perceptions can greatly impact their emotions and understanding.
