Information for parents
When a child has epilepsy, it affects not only the child but also those around them. Within the family, among relatives, and in the immediate environment, questions, uncertainties, or concerns may arise about how to cope with the situation. Epilepsy can influence how a child functions, feels, interacts with others, and develops.
It is therefore important to understand what epilepsy really means, the impact it can have, and how to respond appropriately and provide support in different situations.
On this page, you will find information and insights that help you better understand what epilepsy means in a child’s life and how you can be a source of support in everyday life.
