How should we talk about sensitive topics with children?
with Bruno Humbeeck
Friday 25 September
The “Glass Generation” Children who are better informed but more vulnerable….
Today’s world no longer spares our young people. The internet, social media and digitalisation plunge them into the harsh realities of the present.
In the past, adults could still protect their innocence, allowing them to live in a ‘Care Bears’ world.
Today, our young people find information online before they even receive an answer from adults.
Wars, pandemics, the climate emergency, violence… These topics are everywhere on the internet…
So how do we broach these sensitive topics with our children in a world of information overload? How do we manage their anxiety?
Children born after 2010 make up Generation Alpha or the ‘glass generation’, a reference to screens, transparency and the fragility of glass.
During this conference, Bruno Humbeeck will provide us with the keys to understanding our children and the challenges they face, and will offer practical tools to guide them calmly through their development.
