I'd like to get ideas on how parents here handle the news. The bad news that falls under war, crime, drugs, burglaries, etc.

Since gifted children can be more sensitive and feel emotions and opinions more strongly, how much do you share about what's happening in the world, at what age? Do parents leave the newspaper out for them to read independently? How do you gauge how much information to share with them? So that they don't begin to develop fears and worries that interfere with their sense of security and peace?
