[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It all depends on the child and how old she is. I can see myself explaining the details to my 12 year old, who is mature for his age, but I would not say it quite like that to my emotional and anxious 7 year old - more along the lines of: "Your mother is worrying about having a disease, but we're not worried, and neither should you, because it actually appears she doesn't really have it." Some close family members act crazy occasionally, and the children have enough exposure to them that we've had to explain their foibles. [/quote] OP--She is 13, so I think it's okay to explain.[/quote]
