As the Iran war stretches into its second week, concerns are growing around the impact the conflict will have for the global economy. Much of that attention has been on energy prices — particularly, the price of oil and gas. But its impacts can go far deeper.
Plus, processing the news and reality of war in the Middle East and immigration enforcement here in the U.S. can weigh on anyone's psyche.
For children, consuming media about war without guardrails can be dangerous.
We talk about thoughtful ways parents can approach conversations with their kids about the news in today's world.
Guests:
- Daniel Enemark, chief economist, Policy & Innovation Center
- Kimberly Macias, licensed professional clinical counselor, Thrive Therapy Studio
