49% of London parents indicate kids are anxious about the threat of terrorism

A survey of parents with children aged 5 to 18 has revealed that 49 percent of parents in London think their children are anxious about the threat of terrorism compared to the national average of 41 percent. The YouGov survey of over 1800 GB parents included 221 parents across London, and was commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation to uncover the impact world events could be having on children, and equip parents to respond.
Almost a quarter of parents in London (24 percent) indicated their children were anxious about the threat of nuclear war. 33 percent of parents in London thought their children were anxious about Donald Trump’s presidency. 41 percent of parents in London also thought their children were anxious about global warming and climate change. It found that overall almost four in ten UK parents (39 percent) were concerned that their children are becoming more anxious about world and national events.
