The National Mental Health Association recommends the following:
Don't make false assurances. Just let your child now they're safe now and you'll always try to protect them.
Monitor what they watch. Images of the attacks can be very frightening for children and leave haunting images.
Allow them to express themselves through play or drawings. And don't be afraid to say, I don't know if a child ask a question that you can't answer.
