how parents can emotionally protect their children during crisis, uncertainty, and collective trauma.
🎙 Host: Zahra Soroush

🎬 Director & Producer: Connery DavoodianIn this episode, the conversation focuses on what parents should say and what they should avoid saying when children are exposed to frightening news, social unrest, war-related images, or emotionally overwhelming environments.
We explore how children at different developmental stages understand stress, fear, and uncertainty, and why adults must adjust their language and emotional reactions based on a child’s age and cognitive capacity.
🧠 One of the most important themes of this episode is generational trauma and intergenerational trauma.
Our experts explain how unresolved trauma can move from one generation to another and how today’s parents can break this cycle by creating emotional safety, stable routines, and secure attachment.
👨👩👧👦 You will learn why:
• children do not process traumatic experiences the same way adults do
• emotional regulation of parents directly affects a child’s sense of safety
• constant exposure to disturbing news can overload a child’s nervous system
• daily routines play a critical role in restoring emotional stability
• physical closeness, comfort, and presence are essential tools for healing
📌 The panel also discusses:
• how much information is appropriate to share with children
• when to answer difficult questions and when to wait
• how cultural background and family environment shape a child’s emotional development
• how technology and screens affect emotional and cognitive growth
• why parents’ reactions are often more impactful than the events themselves
💬 This episode includes real-life experiences, clinical insights, and practical strategies that parents can immediately apply at home.
