What to say to children to explain...

[magie06]

I think it's important to remember that you know your own kids. What you say to them is important. My daughter got very upset when I told her that I might have to go to hospital this time. She was very young the last time. She's 11 this year and wanted to know why, how long, where and what they would do to me in hospital. Questions that I had discussed with my husband. She was very happy with all my replies and I think she's becoming more understanding with her classmates because of what we've been through.
