Featured on BBC Radio 5 Live: The psychology of talking to children about difficult news


Dr Jemma Anderson joined Johnny L’Anson on BBC Radio 5 Live Lates to discuss how parents can approach difficult conversations with children following serious allegations involving a familiar children’s author. The discussion explored age-appropriate explanations, children’s emotional responses when someone they admire is associated with concerning behaviour, and how parents can respond to questions while reinforcing messages about bodily, autonomy, consent and speaking to a trusted adult.
