Adults have knowledge and experience, they can consider the consequences, consider their assessment of certain acute events, and for children, the main support in a situation of freedom is their feelings and the dignity of their parents. Children read the emotional background of their parents, and their appearance depends on the reaction of adults.
Stress can increase if the child is not carried away!

What can happen to children during the war?

• Children may cry more often, react with anger to minor events.
• Separation anxiety increases - they do not want to go to the garden, they do not want to stay in the room themselves, to sleep on their own.
• Regressions in habits - asking to be treated as if they were small.
• Play games related to the surrounding events.

How to react to parents?

• Don't force your child to be on their own.
• Support his regression - treat the child like a baby, so he will have the opportunity to see his trauma and the psyche will find a way out.
• Provide the child with truthful information in simple words appropriate to their age, but without the need for frightening details, make sure the child does not feel guilty about what is happening now.
• Try to have a schedule for the day.
• Get help for yourself!
