This is a live picture of it right now expected it can be scary for kids, but a psychiatrist tells us that children should not be shielded from the here. Hi. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. And tell us about the advice today. Reporter we do need to expose our kids and let them know about the world events. And this needs to happen at an age appropriate level and you wont show live footage of are going on so they know how to react. And compared talking about violence to another sensitive subject, sexual. Reporter its gradual exposure, overtime. With a 3yearold, emphasize that bad things do happen in the world but you are safe. Your parents will protect you and the adults in your world will protect you and overtime as they become older, you want to tell them how a disaster. If something happens how they can keep themselves safe. Maybe its them being the one to lock the doors. What are the warning sign that is a child is having issues themselves . Reporter if you are gradually telling them and exposing them to world events, they should be able to handle it if you are giving it to them for kids who are anxious by nature it can be troublesome. If they are having trouble sleeping or eating or withdrawing from normal activities and are not able to function properly, it might be a sign something is going on. If it gets to that point where do you go to seek help . Reporter so if you are having discussions with them and they are not able to discuss their own feelings, it might be time to go up the ladder to and start with your pediatrician and talk with them about what they are seeing and they can go with you from there. There are a lot of people who can help kids having trouble. And how can you help kids feel safe talking about Current Events . Reporter i have a 6year old and when we drive by accidents on the highway, well look at it, and i emphasize the helpers. Isay look at all the ambulances and fire trucks out there get from tip from their romers who said once when his mother talked to him about scary events, she told him to focus on the helpers.

But it could affect the southeastern United States or gulf coast as we go through the next several days into next week, something well want to watch closely. Otherwise, Tropical Storm gaston becoming a hurricane but moving into the central atlantic and unlikely to have an impact on the u. S.
