Happy October! I have a question for you this morning. Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? I thought I would share information on Breast Cancer Awareness for Kids.
Take a day or two this month to incorporate some very pink lessons!
Whether breast cancer has impacted your kids life through a friend or a family member, or not at all, it’s important to start a conversation about this disease.
What happens to someone who is diagnosed with breast cancer? What are healthy choices to prevent your kids from getting breast cancer? Gets tips from a mom on having a conversation about breast cancer with kids here: Kids Health.
Susan G. Komen is another amazing resource that organizes fundraisers and raises awareness about breast cancer. There are countless stories from survivors on the Susan G. Komen website. Let these stories inspire you and your children!
If you need reading resources about kids and cancer, especially breast cancer, you can read The Lemonade Club by Patricia Polacco, and Mom Goes To War by Irene Aparici Martín. These are excellent books about kids helping friends and mothers battling cancer.
How do you talk to your children about breast cancer?
Are they aware of the disease and its impact?
Tell us in the comments!
You will see some links in this article.. I’m a affiliate and make a portion of the sales through these links.
Thank you,
