Yeah I think that's the tough part knowing how much info to give them, but I guess I knew with my 8 yr old daughter who can read and hears everything, that I needed to give her a fair bit of info as she was making me cards from day 1 of diagnosis saying I love you and thank you for all you do for me.

Goodluck kee.
