⛈️ “Are we safe?” — It’s a question no parent wants their child to ask during a storm, bushfire or flood.

When extreme weather strikes, children don’t just experience what is happening around them — they also absorb the uncertainty, fear and emotions of the adults nearby.

💛 The good news? With the right support, children can learn that even scary moments can be managed with courage, connection and kindness.

The new Storm on Sesame Street special is helping families navigate these difficult conversations, showing children that:
✨ Big feelings are normal
🤝 Helpers are always nearby
🌈 Communities can come together
💪 They are stronger than they realise

From explaining extreme weather in a way children can understand, to helping them feel prepared and emotionally safe, our latest article shares simple, practical ways to support your child before, during and after an emergency.

Because while we can’t always stop the storm… we can help our children feel safe through it. ❤️
