[Speaking to children about AIDS].


 Children are usually the last to know that a family member has AIDS. Parents may fear that the children will discover how they became infected, that the children will ask questions difficult to answer, or will feel responsible. A child may perceive a situation, but not understand it. How to discuss this topic with children is difficult, and professional help may be beneficial. Children need emotional support when they learn that AIDS has affected a family member. They will ask questions and need honest answers. Answer what they ask but avoid giving too much information. Feelings should be shared openly and honestly, admitting anger, sadness or fear. Include children in family discussions, as they too feel responsible for taking care of the ill relative. They need praise for their efforts. Open communication either with the affected person or another supportive adult is helpful. Above all, they must know and be told how much they are loved.
