These two stories are for anyone with epilepsy who is a parent or cares for a young child.
When you decide to tell your children about your epilepsy is your decision.
However, from the many parents and carers that we speak to on our Epilepsy Helpline, we know that lots of you would like some information to help you know what and how to tell your child.
Perhaps most importantly, children need to know what epilepsy is and that it’s nothing to be afraid of. They also need to know what they should do if you have a seizure.
We hope these stories help you with that process.
We can provide references and information on the source material we use to write our epilepsy advice and information pages. Please contact our Epilepsy Helpline by email at helpline@epilepsy.org.uk.
