How to talk to kids about conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:31:27 GMT

By Daniel Otis | CTVNews.caToronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — With the Israel-Hamas war dominating headlines, conversations and social media feeds, many children will inevitably have questions about the deadly conflict unfolding in the Middle East. Experts say it’s important to be honest, optimistic and let children lead the conversation.“I would start with saying invite your child to share what they’ve heard, and what they know already, what they’re wondering about, rather than launching into answers and explanations that they might not be looking for,” Toronto-based child psychologist Dr. Dina Lafoyiannis told CTVNews.ca. “Because you might go into the topic and a direction that they don’t actually need, like they might be concerned about their own safety… rather than years of politics that they might not understand.”Lafoyiannis says the next step should be asking if they have questions and answering in a developmentally ap...

Kristof: We must not kill Palestinian children to try to protect Israel’s

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:31:27 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel — The crisis in the Middle East is a knotty test of our humanity, asking how to respond to a grotesque provocation for which there is no good remedy. And in this test, we in the West are not doing well.The acceptance of large-scale bombing of the Gaza Strip and of a ground invasion likely to begin soon suggests that Palestinian children are lesser victims, devalued by their association with Hamas and its history of terrorism.
