How Do You Normalize Having A Seizure When You Have Kids
I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I agree with you and your concern about doing that, I have kids and as for even other people I come in contact with, do like you are doing and try to discuss the condition you have and get them to try and understand what it is you are going through and have, it may take a little bit for the person or whomever to get what you are trying to explain to them, but try to keep giving them any info you can to get what you think will help them get a little bit better idea of what it is you are letting them in on, ask them?s, and them also, it'll help out with what they are unfamiliar with and get to better understand over time, my opinion,
Very simply asure them you are okay after any. Once had severe drop down my kids & others I sat for saw. First one scared them but once they saw was I came to told them I was fine, spoke of why none did. Kids much more open minded bout epilepsy some puzzled at why or how adults reacted like once heard 9 yr urging not to call 911. "It's just a seizure she'll be fine!". Happy to assure all I was when I could after too. That was over 35 years ago now just partials my adult kids could care less about too.
I’m a dad with two Kids . When they were of the age , I would try to explain my seizures the best I can along with some help from my wife.
Through the years they learned to get use to then , but also alert me if they did.
It can be challenging to normalize seizures when you have children, but there are some things you can try. Educate your children about epilepsy in an age-appropriate way so they understand what is happening. Reassure them during and after seizures. Stick to routines as much as possible for meals, medications, sleep, etc Show Full Answer
