Preface

When a parent has a seizure, it can be traumatic for everyone involved.  Those who witnessed the seizure can become frightened by the sudden onset of the seizure and the dramatic behavior it causes.  Often children do not know how to respond to a seizure and this creates anxiety and fear.  This book provides age-appropriate information that can play a significant role in decreasing the fear your child experiences due to your epilepsy condition.
