[quote=Anonymous]Ultimately the kid will also have to advocate for themselves, we found our child was relieved to know what was going on, the areas we needed to work on and how but eventually we will not be as actively involved in his life and he's going to need to know what to do and how to do it for himself. I believe in honesty - I also think some kids can handle the whole truth and others need an overview. Our kid does better when he knows what is going on, so that was the approach we took. We read books out loud to educate ourselves and him - and have been as open as possible to any questions he has. I don't want him to be ashamed I want him to flourish and feel confident. [/quote]
