Creating Calm During Chaos
A Simple Guide for Supporting Children in Disasters
During and after disasters, kids need to feel safe, loved, and supported. Parents and caregivers can help by listening carefully, showing kindness, giving hope, and keeping things calm.
This guide will help you support children in tough times.
Disasters Don’t Wait. Neither Should We.
Stronger than the Storm serves to connect people and organizations that are focused on, or curious about, the following topics:
1. WHAT is the reality for children in a post-event world.
2. WHY it matters that children’s needs are addressed.
3. WHAT the real versus ideal currently is.
4. WHEN and WHAT action needs to be taken.
Now is the time to prepare!
Children experience disasters differently than adults and what they need most is reassurance, routine, and recognition. 💛🌀
Swipe through for simple ways to support your child:
✔️ Stay calm and give age appropriate info
✔️ Make space for their emotions
✔️ Return to routines when it’s safe
✔️ Watch for signs of stress

Just because a child is quiet during a disaster doesn’t mean they’re okay.Talking to kids the right way actually helps reduce fear and build resilience.
We hear a lot of myths like:
🗯️ “Talking about it will scare them.”
🗯️ “They’re too young to understand.”
🗯️ “They’ll just bounce back.”
But here’s the truth 👉 Kids need age appropriate info, emotional support, and simple tools to help them make sense of what’s happening. 💛
That’s why we created resources like Henry and the Hurricane and Psychological First Aid training for the adults who love and care for them.
