At the time of my chemo, my granddaughter was about 4 and my grandson was about 2 -- he was a 2 lb preemie at birth so his sister had already been through being at the NICU daily. My daughter-in-law who is a teacher and my son who is a firefighter talked to the children...when they first came to see me after chemo was started, I was wearing a knit cap to hide my bald head. I remember them being very quiet and just watching me. I just asked, well, did you want to see my head? Yes, was the reply so I took my cap off and said they could touch my head. After the giggles and the reassurance that their granny was all right, they were back to regular play time with the play kitchen I have set up in the house. My feeling is kids are smart and just want to know you love them still with all the changes you are going through. If you treat them with respect and love, you get much respect and love back.
