Talking to children about a cancer diagnosis is one of the most challenging conversations any parent faces, and it's completely natural to feel uncertain about the best approach. Many parents in this community have found that being honest in age-appropriate ways, focusing on the love and support around them, and reassuring kids about the care being received can help children process difficult news while feeling secure and included in the family's journey.
