How are you talking to your kids about the unrest in America?

The intense protests that have broken out across the county related to the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis have undoubtedly sparked questions from children about race, violence and social justice movements. But broaching these subjects can be difficult, as parents try to strike a balance between shielding children from upsetting images and making sure they’re informed.
