Re: [anencephaly] (no subject)

I think four is a little young to tell her. I would wait until she could fully grasp the idea of anencephaly. because kids when they are young will continue to ask until they fully understand and at young ages it's hard to tell them without showing pictures...that's a bit too graphic. just make sure she knows about her younger siblings and don't let her forget. Kids develop at different ages. when you think your daughter could mentally grasp the concept then you should explain it so you do not stress her out by trying to explain it so she understands too early in her life.

i have a daughter Abigayle who is 4 and a son Jack who is 7 months, my angel baby, Holly was born in May 2002 so would be 2 1/2 now.
 
i have often wondered when to tell my eldest and how to go about doing so, she has visited Hollys grave on many a time with us but has never asked questions, she loves to do the flowers.
 
When do you think i should tell her and how do i go about doing it?
 
thanx
