""But most of the time, hiding stuff from them doesn't work, and so explaining how they feel, why that's happening, giving them other viewpoints as to why they might be feeling like they are sometimes helps give them a bigger picture, and they can relax more into it rather than being really anxious about 'what are you hiding from me'?""
""We choose to communicate a lot more with our children... most of the time, hiding stuff from them doesn't work", Prince William said during an interview in Brazil. "Every family has its own difficulties and its own challenges. It's very individual and sort of moment-dependent as to how you deal with those problems", he added. The prince visited the Latin American country for the first time last week to mark the fifth Earthshot Prize, of which he is the founder and president."
Prince William says he and Catherine choose to communicate more with their children about difficult family moments because hiding information usually does not work. He explains that describing how children might feel, why feelings occur, and offering other viewpoints helps reduce anxiety and provides a bigger picture. He calls parenting a balancing act with no manual and says decisions about what, how much and when to tell children depend on the moment. William visited Brazil to mark the fifth Earthshot Prize, which awards winners £1m per category to develop environmental ideas.
