In this episode, we discuss 9 key principles to consider when having conversations with children around difficult topics, such as illness. We discuss ways to be developmentally appropriate with one's approach, especially for younger children. In addition, we talk about supports to consider when having these conversations, and the importance of gearing one's approach towards one's own child's needs.
