As parents and caregivers across America strive to keep an even keel in their households no matter what is going on in the outside world, many wonder how, if at all, they should talk to their children about the war that's gripped Israel since Oct. 7. Fox News Digital reached out to Dr. Meg Meeker, a Minnesota-based pediatrician, author and creator of the 'Parenting Great Kids' podcast, for advice and counsel.
She said that throughout her long career in caring for children, 'I've had to talk with kids of all ages — or coach parents — about war or national tragedies.' Here is some of the advice for parents given the unfolding events in the Middle East.
