Sensitive children's souls: This is how you explain amotlets correctly!

Österreich - June 10, 2025 is a day on which the concerns about children and whose mental well -being focus. Especially in view of the event of violence, such as amoclets in schools, the question arises as to how parents can support and protect their offspring. You cannot prepare for such shocking incidents emotionally. Children are particularly affected by news about violence and death, which requires an attentive reaction from adults. Hedwig Wölfl, psychologist and managing director of the seagull, gives helpful recommendations to accompany children through these difficult times. According to ots.at, parents should explain facts to the children in a child-friendly manner and specifically respond to their fears. You should clarify the following questions:

• What happened? (Attack with dead and injuries)
• What is done about it? (Police and rescue work for security)
• Are we in danger? (No, you are sure in the apartment; schools have emergency plans)

The uncertainty and ignorance that can arise from such events sometimes must be endured together. Different emotional reactions such as shock, anger, grief and fears are normal. It is important to take all the feelings of the children seriously and to strengthen confidence in the security of danger by the police. Wölfl also recommends stabilizing normality in everyday life by maintaining common rituals such as food or daily plans.

the media handling and the exchange

Another aspect of dealing with child worries is conscious media consumption. Parents should pay attention to how many messages about such incidents the children consume and take breaks. Open communication is crucial; Opportunities for exchange with friends, classmates or grandparents should be offered. Children should also be given freedom for individual processing. Understanding and care are essential in these times. With persistent questions or concerns, professional help should be used. Contact person such as "Council on Wire" (Tel: 147) or the Möwe Child Protection can offer help.

In this context, it is important to mention that not only shocking events burden children. The educational practices in the family also play an important role. According to [Kinderschutz.ch] (https://www.kinderschutz.ch/themen/getfrei- Education/ vocational), violence has different consequences in education that are not the same for every child. Factors such as the extent of violence, the child's resilience and their social support influence the effects. Possible consequences are, for example, physical, cognitive and emotional impairments.

long -term effects of violence

Long -term consequences of such violent experiences can include aggressive, criminal and anti -social behavior. There is also a higher probability that affected children themselves become delinquent in adulthood or develop psychological problems such as depression and fears. In particular, younger children who do not yet have sufficient coping mechanisms are affected. Psychological violence has as serious consequences as physical violence, but is often underestimated. Therefore, early help is of great importance for burdened children and adolescents.
