Talking to Children About the Bondi Tragedy

Parents have been asking how to talk to children about the Bondi tragedy. While many of us, as adults, are still trying to understand what happened, why it happened, and how such events can occur, children often pick up far more than we realise, through conversations, news, and changes in adult behaviour.

These conversations can be difficult, but they are important. With the right approach, parents and carers can help reduce fear, answer questions honestly and age-appropriately, and reassure children that they are safe and supported.
