Choose age-appropriate news sources

Watching TV news can upset elementary schoolers, and the older they get the more vulnerable they are. Fifth graders are old enough to understand what they see, but too young to put it into perspective. To help explain, look for news sources produced for children, such as DOGO News or the KidNuz podcast. Watch and listen together, so you can answer questions and explain what your child is seeing or hearing.
