Mothers Reflect on How They Have Assisted Their Children to Cope with the Terrorist Attacks in Kenya

Terrorist acts are occurring worldwide and there is a growing concern on the impact these events have on children. This qualitative exploratory research project retrospectively explored reflections of how six mothers assisted their children cope with the aftermath of the 2013–2015 terror attacks in Kenya. These data were collected in January and February 2016. Findings indicate that positive and supportive parental responses can be beneficial to a child's well‐being. Opportunities to safeguard children's futures by mitigating harmful consequences of terror attacks through parental involvement are vital in securing the child's rights to survival, development, participation and protection
