[quote=Anonymous]Personally, with my kids I feel its important to be honest and straight forward. I might not lead with telling him, but if he notices the absence of his friend I might say he went to a hospital then let your child drive the questions. In other situations I've notice that you don't often have to tell the full story, but if you let them lead you its easier to answer their questions without necessarily having to reveal or discuss the entire situation. I would also talk about how he can help, lend support and be caring toward his friend and I would offer that hospitals are places to help people, make it a positive rather than a negative. [/quote]
