Give your child the facts about tough topics
Experts say the best time to begin talking to kids about difficult issues is when they are between ages nine and 11. They're old enough to grasp the complexity of an issue but they're still young enough to listen. When you have conversations, find out what your child already knows. Share facts without exaggerating, and explain your position. Then, set an example by making sure your actions support your words.
