NOTE FROM PBS UTAH'S KIDS & EDUCATION TEAM
Hello Utah Parents and Educators!
Children feel what we feel — even when they don’t understand why. In times of community or global crisis, it’s easy to assume that young children are unaware of what’s happening. But one thing is certain: children are deeply attuned to their parents’ emotions. They notice the expressions on our faces, the tone of our voices, and the tension in our bodies. Even if they don’t understand the details, they can sense when something is wrong—especially when their parents are worried or scared. No matter how much children know about a crisis, the most unsettling part for them is realizing that the people they rely on for safety are feeling afraid.
The good news? Children also respond powerfully to reassurance. When parents take time to offer comfort, maintain routines, and speak calmly, children feel safer—even in uncertain times. Our presence, love, and steadiness can be the anchor they need. ❤️
Please look through our resources next time you need to address a crisis situation with your kids.
Let’s keep showing up for our children and our communities.
Sincerely,
The PBS Utah Kids & Education Team
