The anticipated return of the hostages, which is hoped to take place in the coming weeks, is likely to be accompanied by a range of strong and intense emotions. It appears that some of the hostages will return home alive, while others have paid the heaviest price and were killed or murdered during or after the massacre.
For others, their fate remains unclear, and we hope for the swift return of all. For us, as adults, this situation will evoke many feelings and questions. Children, who are sensitive to us, will also experience, to a large extent, what is happening. At this time, many parents are wondering how to explain the situation to their children. It is important to convey the information to children in an organized and age-appropriate manner and not to wait for the information to reach them indirectly, in ways over which we have no control.
The information shared with children should be truthful and accurate, avoiding graphic details or knowledge that is not age-appropriate. Additionally, it is crucial to moderate and supervise the information and images coming from the media.
