Denmark issues advice for adults to discuss crises with children

Danish authorities and children's charities have released seven guidelines for adults talking to children about crises. The advice helps parents, teachers, and carers discuss worries during restless times.

The Agency for Social Security created the tips with three major children's charities. These organisations include Children's Welfare, Save the Children, and the Red Cross. Minister for Social Security Lisbeth Bech-Nielsen welcomed the new initiative. She said the advice supports parents, teachers, and carers during troubled times.

Children encounter intense news on social media, in schoolyards, and online. The guidance helps young people find calm when facing disturbing information. Families in Denmark can apply these practical recommendations at home.

This initiative was reported by Danish public broadcaster DR.
