It's safe to say with all that is going on in the world, even the best of us can get anxious about the future.
However, our life experiences make us able to store those bad events into a box and continue on with our lives on a day to day basis.
But for children, it could be a totally different story. Last year, a news website for kids, First News, surveyed more than 2,000 children and the majority said that their biggest fear was terrorism.
There was even a rise in ChildLine calls last year from children who feel anxious about what's going on in the news. And can you blame them? The majority of stories on the news are full of killings, shootings, riots and terrorist threats. No wonder they're scared.
As much as we'd like to wrap our kids up in cotton wool, the world is at their finger tips. You can activate parental controls on their phones or tablets, but they'll still hear about the news in the school yard or on the street while out playing.
Nicky Cox from First News believes that misinformation is the problem, whether it's an exaggerated headline or an inaccurate story, they're just given partial information.
And that's where this website for kids comes in. First News covers all the major headlines that they know children are talking about. It puts articles into words that kids understand. There's even a daily video called I Don't Get It!, which explains what's going on without scaring the kids, whether it's the Zika virus or migrant crisis.
They tell the truth but don't include the graphic or gory details. First News explains that these events are in the news because they're so rare, and that their daily lives will hardly be effected by them.
"After a plane crash, we remind readers that, at any one moment, half a million people are criss-crossing the skies in thousands of planes that take off and land safely," says Nicky.
"We make sure we carry a plethora of positive and uplifting stories. Good news is news, too. The fact is that there is far more good in the world than bad, and it is our responsibility to report that – and not just for children – for the mental health of the nation."
Would you consider letting your child read First News?
