Your Question:
What do I tell my kids when they ask about my medication?
Answer:
When my kids ask me about my medication, I gently ask them to explain why they're asking. I want to understand what's behind their question. Are they worried about me? Are they concerned about their own health? By asking them to explain, I'm showing them that I value their thoughts and feelings, and I'm willing to listen to their perspective. If they're asking because they're worried about me, I reassure them that I'm taking care of myself and that I'm okay. I might say something like, "I'm taking some medication to help me feel better, but I'm doing well. You don't have to worry about me." If they're asking because they're concerned about their own health, I take the opportunity to talk to them about healthy habits and how to take care of their bodies. As a parent, it's my job to be honest and open with my kids. I want them to know that they can always come to me with their questions and concerns. By being transparent and honest, I'm building trust with them and showing them that I value our relationship. I might say something like, "You know, I take medication sometimes to help me feel better. But even when I'm not feeling well, I'm always happy to talk to you and answer any questions you have."
