1
Keep a close eye on your children
The most important thing to do is to keep a close eye on your children and know what they watch on TV. Similarly, you should figure out which section of the newspaper and magazine they are more interested in.
Generally, the morning news is always about the traffic jams and weather forecasts but in times like this, the norms can be broken. There is no doubt that having the knowledge of on-going concerns is of immense importance but children should not be religiously involved in knowing about the economic recession. -

Do not talk about economic crisis in front of your children
Parents often make the mistakes of arguing and discussing important financial issues in front of their children. It is of utmost importance that you do not talk about the crisis in front of your kids. Discussing issues of such immense nature before your kids will only make your life worse as you will also have to cater for their anxiousness. -

Talk to your kids
If you get a slightest clue that your kids are uncomfortable and stressed out at the news of economic recession, you must immediately talk to them. Be polite to your kids and ask them about the concern that is troubling their mind. There is a greater chance that they will ask you numerous questions; thus you should answer all of them appropriately.
If you have to cut down your expenses, you must tell your children about it. You must help them understand that you are going to put a pause on some of their expenses but it will be temporarily. -

Talk to them in a gentle manner
