I have an 8-year old and a 4-year old. My 8-year-old recently asked me "Are wars are real?" At 8 years old, my elders watched TV news so I got little inklings of politics, wars, crime, etc. But we don't want today's TV news in our house. Both my children have tablets and limited internet access. Is there a good source of good curated age-appropriate news? Preferably something streamable.

In a related question from 2011 PBS newshour and BBC newsround were recommended. PBS newshour is sometimes heavy, but maybe we should try it as a family. BBC Newsround focuses a bit too much on British pop culture and sports but it is certainly safe and digestable.

UpdateI am really having trouble accepting any answer here. Many people posted insightful comments giving good parenting advice. I appreciate that. Some provided other alternatives to news. But most seem to say there is no good source, while I have found too many to research them all! It seems like many people wanted to give parenting advice rather than answer the question. Perhaps it was poor of me to ask the community to do my research for me.

Since I posted this, I found DogoNews and Time For Kids to be my good candidates. Both are on the Common Sense Media's list of news for kids. Youngzine seems to vary: one day it was celebrity news, but today it looks earth sciencey which seems quite good.

英國廣播公司的新聞報導非常好!
適當的年齡是主觀的。按照今天的標準,我小時候的大部分時間都不是“適當的年齡”。但這在1960年代末和1970年代初很正常

我個人的觀點是,沒有我認為合適的網站。

這是您應該與他們一起觀看,與他們討論並在需要時更改頻道的內容。

我不知道電視​​上或電視台上是否有任何公正的新聞頻道。通過互聯網(因此您對不允許電視新聞但允許平板電腦的評論並沒有真正幫助您),因此您有責任幫助您的孩子了解世界。

讓他們遠離戰爭等等會引起問題-如果他們不知道這些問題,並且不建立自己的道德模型,那麼戰爭給世界帶來了多大的傷害,那麼當他們長大後,他們將如何幫助改變世界來避免戰爭?

也就是說,對您來說重要的角色是指導和監視。成為他們的新聞觀察/學習經驗的一部分。

還要避免判斷他們對這些主題的看法。而是問他們坐在他們旁邊時的感受

如果您不自己教他們,他們會從朋友那裡學到的。如果等到您認為他們已經“準備就緒”,就會等到為時已晚。

新聞媒體一直出於宣傳目的而受到操縱,對此的認識是發展批判性思維技能的重要一步。

對新聞保持理性,獲得多種觀點。僅僅因為觀點與您的觀點不同並不意味著它是錯誤的。注意自己的偏見,並記住他們是孩子,而不是白痴。

接受他們可能知道您所不期望的事情,並尊重他們的知識。小時候,我記得聽人質狀況的圖形描述並評論說聽起來像人質攜帶者患有精神分裂症後被咀嚼。在第二天的後續新聞播報中,他們特別指出,劫持人質為精神分裂症。一夜之間,我對父親失去了很多尊重。

+1“如果等到您認為他們已經“準備就緒”,就等到為時已晚。”應該更廣泛傳播的育兒建議。
第一個段落+1(實際上是整個答案-包括您的孩子可以發表清晰評論/想法的部分)。我注意到,慢慢地向孩子介紹自然事物(裸露,性,暴力,...)確實可以幫助他們建立性格,並非總是向朋友學習的人,而有時卻是教書的人:)

Just my two cents, I think one great way to get started with world news is to get a World Map or a globe.

That way, when they look at the news headlines and images, they have a mental reference point.

For example, they may hear of deteriorating North Korea - Japan relations, and looking at the map will help to cement their understanding of why those two countries are making such a big fuss.

In the end, world news is full of minute details, and knowing the bigger picture helps in understanding as a whole.

我們擁有Oregon Scientific Smartglobe,我們正將其用於此目的。

英國廣播公司通常相當不錯。當然,任何一篇單獨的文章都會有自己的偏見,BBC確實會發表基於觀點的文章,但是新聞總體上總體來說是中性的,而BBC在整體上保持平衡,因此做得很好。可以說,它比消除所有觀點都更好。

BBC新聞文章也很主流(例如,那些是一般新聞廣播的一部分,而不是紀錄片或針對特定主題的更深入的文章),它在避免任何過於圖形化的事情上做得很出色。

很顯然,這裡還有一個平衡點。您可能不想讓幼兒暴露於戰爭的嚴峻現實中,但是您也不想過分消毒。同樣,從本質上講,新聞傾向於報導最戲劇性的事件,任何人都非常容易,更不用說孩子們僅憑新聞價值就對世界有了一些偏頗的看法。

所以也許最大的挑戰是要在良好的環境下提供廣闊的視野。

I don't tell my children a great deal about current news yet. We do talk about what is going on in the world around them. I don't personally care to watch the news myself, I tend to read it and so does my spouse.

I do tell my 10yr old that news sources are biased and you have to take that into account. I also tell him that his parents are biased and that also has to be taken into account. We have our own opinions and sometimes as people I don't agree with my spouse's take on certain things. I personally find that to be the most valuable thing my kids are learning, that two people they think are both intelligent, well read and good people, can and do see world events through different perspectives and bring to the table rational, polite discord. I don't think personally that it's terribly important that my 10 year old really be completely informed on all world events at the moment. I think it's more important that he sees examples of adults that are informed, engaged, and aware. His ability to actually rationalize or understand things of world importance is going to be relatively limited at this age still. I find it more important in the stepping stones to understanding how it all works, to take him to town hall meetings. He can see local people addressing the local city council, complain, have disagreements with current policy, ask for a vote on an issue, etc.

My take on it is that becoming an empowered, aware world citizen is a series of baby steps. I teach them about finances through a series of small things too, not by having them sit down and go through all of our family financials. I might some day, but today, that could lead to undo worry, misunderstandings, and stress that isn't legitimate. In my mind, knowing my own kids, I don't feel they are ready to digest tensions between countries and threats when they can do nothing about that. Like I said, we do discuss it, they are welcome to ask things, but I prefer to be the one delivering that information versus sitting down and not knowing what someone else may say.

My approach is no doubt influenced by growing up in the cold war era and having a lot of useless worry and stress in my own childhood. I don't want that for my kids. I want them to care about the things we can do something about, not lay in bed at night wondering if they will reach adulthood. I have no doubt my parents had no clue it was impacting me that way. I wasn't a child prone to stress. I do not recall thinking about it in the day, but I do recall laying in bed at night hoping we didn't get nuked.

我一定是個很放鬆的孩子。我看著“第二天”,它從來沒有讓我醒著。
小時候,小說從未打擾過我,在新聞報導等方面,我也沒有打擾過。在某個年齡段,人們對電影是一個故事有一個內在的理解,即使這個故事很恐怖。
如此……活著的死者之夜在睡覺之前肯定讓我醒了。平淡的消息仍然讓我感到無聊。我更喜歡看股市新聞頻道。

This is specifically for the 8 years old one: Don't use television / streams / video in general as the primary source for news.

Go for the "slow" route of newspapers, prints and similar stuff.This firstly is great to control the graphic content as newspapers tend to publish more text, less images - and that is what news are all about. Secondly, you are not overwhelmed with so many different stories - you can only read so much at a time. Thirdly, you can discuss the stuff that you son read more easily with him, as the paper won't run away that fast.

As for the choice of newspaper: Choose one that tends to be the last one to catch up on "hot" news and that takes the privacy of people serious.

As a bonus your child will learn to read and process written information faster.


Anecdote

When I was that age I started to read about the war in Iraq. Actually that was the way I started to consume news. I saw those nice pictures of tanks and started to read the bold text first... After some time I would read the whole article (which took ages) and managed to get a grasp of what the world may be.

我同意@Rory Alsop的觀點,沒有不偏不倚的新聞頻道,但是與引人注目的新聞相比,有一些新聞報導對聳人聽聞的新聞(泛紅,爆炸,墜毀)更感興趣。我同意推薦NPR和BBC的人。對於觀看者來說,它們並不是那麼渴望。

如果您想監視內容,可以從每天選擇的一個新聞故事開始(也許為了簡潔起見),然後進行討論進行相關連接。然後是兩個故事,然後是三個故事,因為他們開始欣賞全球和本地的“新聞”。作為識別認知偏見的一種練習,您可以從兩個或三個不同的媒體中閱讀相同的故事(我不認為一個4歲的成熟孩子對此還不算年輕。)這樣,您就可以避免可能會傷害兒童的可怕新聞。一個孩子,但是在某個時候已經開始為電視新聞做準備。

您還可以查看年輕人的新聞媒體,例如 Channel One新聞等。應該引導您前往多個此類站點;選擇最合適的產品。

不過,我認為,正如@Rory所說,最重要的是一起觀看內容並進行適當的討論。

我知道列表中最後一個答案得到足夠的注意才能產生影響是不尋常的,但是我認為我的想法與上面給出的想法不同,因此值得分享-

像縮影一樣思考孩子的世界。出生時,他們的世界實際上只是他們自己。隨著時間的推移,它的範圍擴大到包括媽媽和爸爸以及他們所居住的房子,並且隨著孩子開始理解語言,隨著越來越多的概念被掌握,他們的縮影變得越來越大。到成年時,一個人的縮影在理想情況下已擴展到包括世界的實質部分-但我懷疑我們中的任何人是否會聲稱在生活的任何時候都佔據了整個世界。但是至少,作為成年人,我們應該知道整個星球(也許是整個宇宙)就是我們的世界,因此,值得我們了解和了解的其他地方發生的事情:基本上,我們的世界範圍或多或少它決定了我們確定值得了解和保留的內容,因此試圖教給孩子一些他們沒有參照系或看不到相關性的知識是沒有用的。

從概念的角度來看,我知道嘗試與三歲的孩子討論戰爭是沒有用的(也許說戰爭是許多人之間通常會持續的戰鬥)很長一段時間,很多人受傷)。如果我超越戰爭的概念試圖與他討論特定的戰爭,那將變得更加無用-“俄羅斯和美國正在敘利亞境內進行一場代理戰爭,以敘利亞內戰為掩護,以伊黎伊斯蘭國為形式的反恐戰爭作為其行動的前線和部分驗證,”將在大多數成年人,更不用說兒童的頭上了。儘管敘利亞局勢十分複雜,但這種複雜程度在現代戰爭中並非與眾不同。

從地理上講,我的兒子理解“城市”的概念,因為它是我們房子所在的大地方,而他理解“州”的含義是它是我們城市的大地方位於,他甚至知道還有其他州(我想只是因為他已經生活在幾個不同的州中)。有一陣子,爸爸在世界的另一端,我們用地球儀和手電筒向他展示了為什麼達達在我們夜晚時才是早晨,從那個談話中,他開始明白了甚至是“行星地球”,但從嚴格的地理角度來看也是一樣。

我敢肯定,您的8歲孩子比他的3歲孩子擁有更多的概念,但是“戰爭真實”的問題並沒有前提是您的兒子掌握了國家作為一個政治實體的概念,我認為這是討論當前特定戰爭的必要基礎概念。它甚至都不以戰爭為基礎。

我要說的是,您不是最適合時事的摘要,而是擁有一個對孩子們友好的篩選器,而不是依靠某種形式的媒體來介紹時事。開始與他們一起探討整個世界以及其中的其他國家的概念(我在較早的答案中看到了使用世界地圖或地球儀的​​建議,這是個不錯的主意,但是視頻可能對此非常有用也是如此-例如發現頻道製作的“行星地球”視頻或“ baraka”,或者在網上觀看其他國家的食物/衣服/環境/房屋/宗教場所的視頻/圖片),並讓他們熟悉認為我們的生活不同,但是我們彼此之間沒有彼此孤立,有時會導致分歧。在極端情況下,國家理事機構會選擇對彼此使用暴力,我們稱之為戰爭。這些分歧可能是意識形態的,也可能是關於控制稀缺資源的,或者兩者兼而有之。

無論如何,我可以在具體方面繼續前進-因為戰爭是一個極其複雜的問題,將宗教,政治和經濟與其他許多事物(包括內戰和非國家戰爭)結合在一起演員)-但總的來說,想法是這樣的:如果您的兒子在問戰爭是否會發生,這有力地表明他已經準備好接受戰爭背後的觀念,因為這個問題的隱含之處在於缺乏對為什麼會發生戰爭。除了了解有關當前事件的事實外,還有更多的理解要求。但是,用真實的戰爭來說明概念是個好主意-我建議以色列和巴勒斯坦之間的衝突,因為從表面上看這是一場意識形態的戰爭,但這也關係到控制該地區稀缺的淡水資源(例如含水層和約旦南部的湖泊)。

這是一個知識領域,儘管長大後我父母和學校都忽略了這兩個知識,儘管他們倆都告訴我看報紙,而我媽媽一直在家里和汽車裡玩NPR。但是,沒有人試圖創建一種全球性的環境來理解正在發生的事情,因此,我從來不關心或不願意將其保留任何時間超過讓老師滿意的嚴格必要時間。我對外部活動的重要性視而不見“我的世界”,即使9/11事件發生時我還在上中學,我的回答是,“這很重要,因為……?”

我不推薦這種方法。我的父母或多或少信任我的學校來教我我需要知道的知識,並且總的來說,學校更願意向孩子們講授他們所居住的國家,而不是講授整個世界的動態-至少在任何一種情況下整體框架。我們確實做過諸如“找到關於另一個國家發生的事情的文章並將其提交給全班學生”這樣的作業,但是這些始終是好奇心,並不被視為與我們的生活相關,並很快被人們遺忘。

這全是通過概念教學來擴大兒子的縮影。一旦他感覺到世界其他地方發生的事情對他很重要,我敢打賭他的學習會變得有些自我指導,而且只要他是讀書而不是觀看這個消息,我懷疑他會看到他無法處理的任何事情-儘管您可能很適合幫助他選擇閱讀材料:)

這確實是非常棒且寫得很好的建議。自從我的孩子出生以來,這反映了我的想法,我對成長的看法也相似,我看到了周圍更大的世界及其影響。謝謝。
@MobyDisk很高興它與您產生共鳴:)

Children often can't process the a straight news broadcast because they don't have the background knowledge to make sense of it, so they'll get bored and switch off. But there are other, more accessible ways of learning about current affairs. My kids will happily sit through a topical comedy or satirical show just for the silly jokes, and their social primate brain will kick into action and they will try to puzzle out what the adults are laughing at. Little by little they learn who the recurring characters are and something about the topics under discussion. Before long your ankle-biter is an engaged citizen with an opinion on the major political players.When I was young got hooked into politics by watching Spitting Image on TV. Now my kids listen to the podcast editions of Radio 4's News Quiz and The Now Show in the car on the school run.

Get them to watch CNN... hahaha hahahah hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahahaha

No seriously Actually it's more important to teach them principles and questioning things. Explain things to them verbally, or go through some newspaper articles with them, and question what is happening, and how it relates to the principles you teach them, and what is right and wrong.

If you must absolutely give them the ins and outs of wars why is it bad for ISIS to cut off peoples heads but all good for Saudi Arabia too. Why are brutal Kings sent guns, and brutal dictators given hot lead?

Teach them why it's ok to bomb Iran for wanting to develop weapons we already have, but not OK to bash your neighbour because a branch on his tree is getting a bit thick and you fear he may club you with it.

Principles, principles, principles... it's the only anecdote to propaganda

Understanding the past is key to understanding the present. I would start by seeking out some age-appropriate world history material - either curriculum (more efficient), or a small number of hand-picked documentaries or even just hands-on conversation (more accessible) - and possibly expand into general social studies. Where current news is a fleeting snapshot of complex issues, I think history will be far more accessible and instructive than the news, due to situations developing rather than simply existing. As a bonus, the passage of time soothes emotional engagement with events. Far more balanced and rational, age-appropriate treatment of the subjects involved will be readily available, not to mention the unearthing of far more detail and factual accuracy than we have with events still unfolding.

To accelerate the process of preparing children with the critical thinking needed, perhaps focus on the history of a single specific region (probably not the Middle East) to ready them for news just from that region, before letting them expand to the whole world. While we underestimate what children can handle, that's a lot for even adults to handle.

First you should get your child interested (and they seem to be already), and then you should give them background on ways to rationally think about the news. It is more important at this time to teach the children to think rather than to just expose to the current scoop.

What I do with my kid when some subject piques his interest, is to use a platform they likes[sic] (youtube) and pre-select / curate some videos about the subject beforehand. There are tons of child-safe fact-checking channels out there. I watch the video beforehand to see if it has something inappropriate (a strong image, cursing, etc).

Then I invite them to watch some videos together. We watch some gaming videos to lighten the mood, then I bring up the subject. If they does[sic] not outright refuse, I load the video URL and we watch together. After watching, we talk about it. It is very important at this point to let the children think for themselves. I make questions about the subject to spark critical and analytical thinking.

For example, if the subject is wars, I'd get one of those "today I learned" about ancient / medieval wars that include some talk about motivation. Maybe follow up with some video on modern wars if they are still interested. Then some of the questions I'd ask could be:

  • Why do you think people go to war?
  • Are wars really necessary?
  • The ________ waged war because they wanted _______. What do you think of them for doing that?
  • Do you think a country has the right to defend themselves?
  • How do you think wars could be avoided?

Very important here: the purpose is to spark critical/analytical thinking, not to indoctrinate the children. Of course as a parent/caregiver some indoctrination will happen, but the key point is to allow the children to think for themselves. Do not talk back/down them on their answers. Don't criticize the children.

My kid often asks my own opinion on the subject too. I only voice myself after they have finished talking. If my view disagrees with something they voiced about, I point out those conflicting views and ask him about this disagreement. As an authority figure, it is important not to push your own view over theirs. Then we hold a quick debate. If I see they are tiring of the subject, we engage in more gaming/fun videos and I later bring it up again.

Then I hope the seeds of this knowledge thirst have been well planted. The children will seek out news and be better prepared to deal with them.

此答案僅關注問題的標題,而在您談論新聞媒體的地方跳過了該部分。所以:

我如何才能讓我的孩子接觸世界新聞?

我有很好的經驗,只是讓這些事情偶爾出現在您與孩子的日常對話中。孩子們的世界小於您的孩子,所以我認為如果您暫時忽略他們的每日新聞,他們不會遭受痛苦。

例如,拿一個地球儀,教他們你現在住的地方。向他們展示各大洲等。如果您有正面新聞,請查看位置,並講一些有關沙漠,另一個國家,叢林,冰雪或與您自己國家相反的生活的故事,它們是關於人類的圖片。

對於“繁重”的話題,例如,當注意到挨餓的人們的圖片(也許在報攤上或其他地方)時,您可以談論戰爭,飢荒,第三世界問題等等,就像孩子一樣。 “我們總是有足夠的飯菜,但有些人則不必;甚至是孩子!在炎熱的國家,他們甚至沒有水;甚至在我們的國家,有些人甚至沒有房子。”等(選擇其中一項,而不是一次全部);我會試著讓它變得更個人化:如果您問他們“您能想像三天不吃東西會有什麼感覺嗎??”,那麼他們就會考慮一下。他們還不需要知道每天有數百萬人挨餓。

對於戰爭來說,也是一樣。我相信可以讓他們知道世界不是一盒巧克力。顯然,您可以跳過有關戰爭中人類所發生的事情的圖形描述,但是您可以輕而易舉地實現孩子長大而沒有父母或諸如此類的東西的想法(這對孩子而言,就像獲得肢體殘缺-甚至更多)。您不想讓孩子受到傷害,只需讓他們知道。

所有這些都是根據您的問題,開始暴露孩子,而不是讓他們成為政治人物,因此這裡沒有真正的課程。重點還在於讓您談論哪些內容被刪除了

媒體

我對當今的新聞媒體持悲觀態度。我很少遇到沒有明顯議程的項目(即使僅僅是為了以任何方式賺錢)。我相信,您可以為您的孩子做的最好的事情就是灌輸一些健康的懷疑論,讓人們告訴他們“東西是怎樣的”(是的,這也適用於流行科學渠道)。

坦率地說,在8歲時,您的孩子可能尚未了解“真”和“假”之間的灰度,或者只是略微含糊。我建議您現在正在做什麼。我肯定不會讓他們幾年來定期自己消費新聞。與您一起,作為某些晚間儀式的一部分?當然可以,為什麼不呢!當時我和父母一起看了晚間新聞,而我記得最多的是,無論如何,它令人無聊得很無聊...

我在一個長大的時代就沒有這麼擔心要整理很多信息。

儘管如此,我還是習慣每天看電視轉播新聞並在幾分鐘之內跟上新聞,直到今天,我仍在麻木地觀看新聞廣播。教育價值非常低,對好萊塢/當地人的宣傳“成名”,市場營銷也很興隆。灌輸的數量也值得擔心。

如果可能的話,我會首先在推特和/或有關每週新聞的簡短新聞中介紹它們。提示:BBC播放器可以在英國以外的地方使用

I was brought up on newsprint (i.e. my father would read the paper), and prefer text even now.

For a start I read faster than people talk. For example I can read a transcript of an hour-long documentary in less than an hour. So that's more efficient, or the information that can be conveyed in a given time is more in-depth.

Second and more important, I find that TV is emotionally-laden: there's dramatic music introducing the TV news; and the announcers read their scripts in a concerned, serious, or anxiety-conveying voice ... which I find distracting, unpleasant, disorienting, and addictive (and so, unsuitable).

So to answer your question, "How can I begin exposing my children to world news?", you could tell them (perhaps the 8-year-old at least) to read the front page of the newspaper (or the "world news" page of the newspaper) every day ... maybe quiz them on it too, if you do that.
