Talking to Children about Illness

Adults have a key role in helping children understand what is going on, providing information and reassurance, limiting media overload for children, and being aware of how their own reactions might impact on children.

This short leaflet has been written to give health professionals, educational professionals, parents and early years providers an informed understanding of children’s understanding at different developmental stages.
