Talking to children about war and conflict

The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has dominated the news both on television and on social media with images of violence and outrage. The events in Ukraine can cause anxiety and fear in young children, especially now that children have more access to online information than ever.

It can be difficult for us as adults knowing how to respond to some of their questions and how much information we should share with them. 

Please see the below for support with this.

  • Little Troupers Little Troopers is a registered charity supporting all children with one or both parents serving in our British Armed Forces (regular or reserve). These children face unique daily challenges due to their parents career choice especially when they experience repeated separation of varying lengths of time from their serving parent(s) due to exercises and operations plus moving home and school frequently due to service requirements. The Little Troopers charity have resources available to help ease and aid any separation period.
