In this video we help parents talk to your children about war and conflict so that they can process the news without being fearful or anxious, and we help teachers and youth workers answer current event questions for students.

Since 2020, the youth of this generation have faced more than many adults have faced in a lifetime.

Whether it's war and conflict in the news, debates and medical uncertainty over COVID, our kids are constantly bombarded with news that could fill them with anxiety and fear.

Parents, caregivers and youth workers have the responsibility to take what seems to be unexplainable and help children to process reality while still letting them enjoy childhood and the hope of a bright future.

In this episode, Steve Alessi is joined by his youngest daughter and youth director at Metro Life Church, Gabrielle Alessi. Together they unpack how you as a parent, teacher or youth leader can help today's children to navigate the flood of information coming at them regarding current events, and show them how to remain strong and confident.
