Covid-19 and other world events are increasing anxiety in children.
Clinical therapist and parenting expert Dr Anna Martin says access to social media means kids are more likely to come across upsetting images.
She told Kate Hawkesby parents can't put their heads in the sand on tough issues like the current Ukraine conflict.
