First and foremost, I would talk to my child about the violence and ways to cope with these types of images. This could include discussing their feelings, role playing alternate scenarios or having them participate in therapeutic activities like art, music or journaling. Additionally, I would work towards reducing the amount of exposure my child has to violent media such as limiting screen time or deleting content from their access. Lastly, if necessary, I may consider seeking professional support such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

If my child was exposed to excessive violence in media, I would first attempt to limit their access to the medium. This may involve turning off or monitoring the content that my child is consuming. I would also speak to them about why excessive violence and media is not acceptable, especially for young children who are vulnerable or unintelligent as to the possible effects. Additionally, I may engage with their chosen mediums and try to find age-appropriate content they can watch, as well encourage meaningful discussions about what they have watched together; these conversations will help foster healthy communication within my family unit.
