How to Talk to Young Children About Cancer

I am teaming up with Dionna of Code Name: Mama and Sarah, who writes at Balancing and who authored What Not to Say  for a four part series in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Yesterday, Dionna wrote about "how to help a parent who is undergoing cancer treatment." Please stop by to both get ideas on how to help someone you love who is struggling with a serious illness, and leave your own suggestions of how people can help. Today, Sarah is writing about how to talk to young children about cancer; tomorrow, I am writing about what to say (and what not to say) to those who are newly diagnosed with cancer; and on Thursday, visit Code Name: Mama for an interview with the Executive Direction of Cleaning for a Reason.
