There is no easy answer about how to tell young kids that you have cancer, or at least how to explain your hospital visits and bald head. This video answers the question about how we did this but you can consult a therapist or check out these websites below for more information.
I think it’s important to know your individual child, what they need, how they will cope best and to consider what information is age appropriate.
Cancer is hard for adults to understand and cope with. You want to be honest with your child while being protective. You can assure them that you have great doctors and you will do everything you can to heal this boo-boo.
