Parents need to be prepared for any emotions of the child

Continuing yesterday's topic of children and war, we publish tips on how to properly explain to a child that a father or mother is going to war.

Parents need to be prepared for any emotions of the child: to his hysteria, screams, pleas not to go. Follow these tips to make it the least traumatic way:

1. First of all, keep calm. After all, your fear can be transmitted to the child. If the mother herself is worried about her husband, the emphasis should be shifted.

2. If the father / mother goes to war, it is he / she who should explain to the children where he / she is going and why. But without details of the fighting.

3. Create a positive scenario for the children: everything will be fine, the father / mother will return. We need to assure the children that our Armed Forces will win.

4. Keep in touch with children, even at a distance, if possible.

5. Never go without saying goodbye!

Protect yourself and your family from emotional trauma. Remember that you are waiting at home!
