Hundreds of children have called helplines; others are expressing fears and looking for answers from loved ones; and many many more are harbouring unexpressed anxieties after the attacks in Paris. Here's an infographic that will help.

Many of us assume we are shielding our children from the horrors when we choose not talk about these issues with them. This is completely understandable, and if they have somehow missed all the talk of recent events, then perhaps not informing them may be an option. However, we can only make that assumption based on the fact that they haven't talked about it themselves. Often children don't initiate conversations about what is bothering them, and you may be surprised to learn what's on their minds.

The NSPCC have said that children are calling ChildLine with worries that there will be similar attacks in Britain, and some have come from young Muslims facing abuse after these events.

This infographic addresses fears and sheds light on some questions that young ones may have. We hope it will prove to be a useful tool.
