[quote=Anonymous]I'm a big believer in answering questions as honestly as possible, but the fact this is something your child already has anxiety about makes it tricky. I probably wouldn't say anything until the child asked, and then explain the friend was sick and had to go away until he felt better. Then let his questions drive the conversation. I'd also want to work on helping him understand that mental hospitals aren't horrible scary places.[/quote]
