[QUOTE="Andy, post: 165847, member: 5096"] For school kids - When my difficult child was hospitalized last fall, the school kids wanted to know why he wasn't in school. They had known that difficult child was sick since school started - could not always stay all day, lacked energy, ect. We told them that he was at a place to find the medicine to make him better. That this would help him quicker than if he stayed in school. One day I stopped at school to pick something up and a pre-school kid came running out. She saw me drive up and was very concerned, "We don't know where your boy is!" I replied, "I know where he is and he is o.k." That was a sweet moment in a very difficult time - to know that other kids did really care. I know this situation is a little different but maybe you can come up with something similar to help easy child answer the pesky questions from kids at school. It is hard for us as adults to ward off these inquiries, I imagine it is near impossible for easy child to know what to say. When kids don't get answers to their original inquiries, they can start being meaner about it and it does turn into sarcastic relentless teasing. [/QUOTE]
