Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I think kids take there ques from us. If they ask us questions - whether it be sex, death or divorce and we act " strange " they know there is something to it. I have tried to be honest about death. Although I do believe in something after this and I believe its a wonderful place and am not afraid. Try to find out EXACTLY what your child is looking to know. If it hurts, missing you, being alone - many times you can answer their questions by finding out what they are afraid of. With kids, stress to them to look at the copyright date of articles and information. I have told them the average life span but also tell them how some people don't do their treatments, etc. and that can play a role. There are no answers, only a parents knows what and how much to tell their child. A friend's 5 yr. wanted to know where he came from. The mother asked WHY? The kid said he wanted to know if he was born in New York or New Jersey. Rosemary in New York with 3 children with CF - they are 12, 10, 6...I coined the phrase " BREATHE DAMMIT " ; and now we have a dog named - are you ready for this - TOBI after their medication!
