My daughter was 6 when i told her about my dx. I explained very simply that my brain didn't make the same size 'waves' as other's and that's what meds are for,to make my brain more like hers. I've n0rmalised bp in our household as i d0n't want my daughter to ever feel ashamed of me,and if God forbid she has my bad genes,at least she grows up kn0wing it's treatable. Kids are resillient, empathetic and quite intelligent. Have a little faith, i pers0nally d0n't think therapy is even necessary. Just my opinion. Go0d luck hun. XOXO
