What to say to your child about the Bushfire Crisis

Most of the time the world is safe place, but scary things can happen
Watching and hearing about the Bushfires can make you feel sad and scared for yourself and others
It’s okay to have these feelings, adults also have these feelings.
Remember that the Bushfires are making the news all over the world because this is bigger than usual and doesn’t happen very often
There are lots of very sad and frightening photos and videos but there are also lots of images of good people helping
Remember that when awful things happen there are lots of people working very hard to keep people safe, help look after them and work towards rebuilding
Bushfires happen in Australia and there are plans and resources to help
Make a list as a family of ways you can help
