My daughter is now becoming curious about my medications, she sees me taking them, sees me filling up my Sunday-Saturday container. She also becomes curious when I get "tired" and lay in bed all day sometimes.

I really want to talk to my daughter about mental illness, but I have no idea where to start.

She's 5. She just started Kindergarten. I feel like she's old enough to know a little bit. Where do I begin?

I have already told her that it's okay to be sad, and that if she feels sad it's okay to cry, and it's okay to tell Mommy & Daddy how she is feeling. I want her to feel like it's okay to talk about her feelings, and not hold them in and be ashamed about them.

I try to teach her to think positively, and not look at the negative too much. Like when she can't do something right, not to beat herself up about it. But to just have fun with it.

What more can I do?
