00:00Dear Donald Trump,
00:02My name is Molly and I come from Greenland.
00:06I have a message for you.
00:08You are making the Greenland kids scared.
00:12I'm going to go to the back side, okay?
00:28Okay.
00:42Is it something that...
01:06It comes and you cannot get in contact with your parents.
01:10So it is...
01:12Because I assured him that there's not...
01:18Please don't worry about it.
01:20What kind of response does he get?
01:22Do you feel like he's actually reassured?
01:24Or...
01:26So they came and ripped up the money.
01:42The money, yeah.
01:44The money?
01:45Yeah.
01:50I feel confident in which area are you...
01:54We do the next day one hour.
01:58Your work is...
02:00My work is being very like...
02:02You are afraid of anything?
02:04No.
02:06We are not afraid of soldiers.
02:08We are not afraid of the situation.
02:10And we have tried to sleep.
02:12And we have tried to sleep.
02:14And we have tried to sleep.
02:16And we are not afraid of anything.
02:18But we are not afraid of anything.
02:20We are afraid of anything.
02:22We are afraid of anything.
02:24We are afraid of anything.
02:26My children...
02:28They are afraid of anything.
02:30Even though there are many problems here in the world.
02:34In terms of our situation in Poland.
02:38As the Netherlands...
02:40There are many people who are happy.
02:46My daughter is...
02:48Is not...
02:50Doesn't seem very nervous.
02:52Luckily.
02:54As much as maybe...
02:56We are or I am.
02:58And all the thoughts.
02:59But of course...
03:00All of these different reactions.
03:02And sometimes very strong reactions.
03:04And sometimes very strong reactions.
03:05Also...
03:06Puzzle her.
03:07And she talks about it.
03:08And...
03:09We try to...
03:10Or I try to talk about...
03:12Talk to her about...
03:14That it's...
03:15Our responsibility as grown-ups.
03:18And sometimes a lot...
03:22I haven't seen any changes.
03:24And I'm happy about that.
03:25I know it's important also...
03:27To keep the daily life...
03:29As any other day...
03:31Go to school.
03:32Go to bed in the evening.
03:34When it's time for that.
03:35Go to...
03:36To soccer.
03:37She plays a lot of soccer.
03:39Doing all those things...
03:40That you normally would do.
03:42And that...
03:43That is most of the day.
03:45So...
03:47What we try to do...
03:48Is to...
03:49We have...
03:50Given out...
03:51Guidelines...
03:52To parents...
03:53And to teachers...
03:54To how to talk...
03:55To children...
03:56About their concerns.
03:58A lot of the children...
04:00Do have concerns.
04:01Because of course...
04:02They...
04:03They sense what is going on.
04:05So we...
04:06We try to address...
04:07That...
04:08It's valid...
04:09To have these concerns.
04:11But...
04:12Speak to them...
04:13In a...
04:14Way for children...
04:15They can cope with.
04:17To control...
04:19What news...
04:20The children see.
04:21Today...
04:22Children have...
04:23A lot of information...
04:25Access...
04:27That are not...
04:28Meant for them...
04:30And...
04:31Definitely not...
04:32Appropriate for their age.
04:35So that's why...
04:37We need to...
04:39Be aware of that...
04:40As adults...
04:41And...
04:42Be...
04:43Protective about...
04:44Our children...
04:45And...
04:46And...
04:47Be able to...
04:48Talk...
04:49With...
04:50Our children...
04:51About...
04:52The things...
04:53They hear...
04:54Because...
04:55The rhetoric...
04:56Is...
04:57Quite...
04:58Aggressive...
04:59So...
05:00You...
05:01You...
05:02You...
05:03You...
05:04You...
05:05You...
05:06You...
