Depends on the child's age and maturity level. It's not good for their mental and physical health to worry very young children.

An adult and older child's responsibility is to remain calm, strong and aware of events so as to make good decisions. Young children can carry life-long depression, have nightmares or panic and act out which causes disruption because complex situations are hard for them to understand. Same goes for immature, unstable adults. I've come into contact with more than a few of the latter.
