Having a Child With Epilepsy
Parents usually feel a huge sense of responsibility for their child.

Who Should We Tell?
Other issues will be "How do I explain this to my child, my other children, my friends"? Who needs to know? How will this affect their future?

Protecting Your Child
One of the most difficult areas parents speak about is not "over protecting" their child.

Talk to Someone
Its best to discuss these concerns with someone who understands.

Explaining Epilepsy to Your Child
Help your child understand what epilepsy is all about.

Getting Your Child to Take Medications
Teaching your child how to swallow tablets and capsules.
