Looking to make sense of epilepsy for your little one?
This space is designed for young children and the people who care for them. At this age, children are learning fast—about themselves, their feelings, and the world around them. Epilepsy can bring extra challenges, but with the right support, your child can feel safe, included, and ready to thrive.
We’ve gathered trusted advice and age-appropriate resources to help you explain epilepsy in ways your child can understand. You’ll also find guidance on building routines, supporting friendships, and working with schools to make sure your child gets the help they need in the classroom.
We know how important it is for you to feel supported too. That’s why we offer practical tips and emotional guidance to help you manage day-to-day life with confidence. Whether it’s understanding seizures, talking to teachers, or helping your child feel more at ease during playtime, we’re here for you.
Every child is different, and every family’s journey with epilepsy is unique. But you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. We’re here to walk alongside you—offering support, information, and a community that understands what you’re going through.
