Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - Guiding Kids Through Hard-to-Explain Headlines

Reporter and former Care & Feeding host Aymann Ismail joins Elizabeth & Lucy to talk about how to approach conversations with kids about violence in the news. The hosts discuss ways to frame scary or divisive headlines, how to balance honesty with reassurance, and how parents can manage their own reactions while guiding kids through uncertain times. Plus, Lucy reflects on her own experience processing the past week’s difficult news.Join us on Facebook and email us at [email protected] to ask questions, share feedback, and suggest future topics.
