A member asked:
Must i tell my child about a chronic illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eventually: You don't say who has the illness or how old the child is, but irrespective, the conversation should take place. Children tend to be egocentric and will therefore blame themselves for the illness. Telling them and reassuring them is important.
