How are you today? I wish you a beautiful Sunday. I thought you might be looking for a way to speak to your children about Breast Cancer Awareness.
Happy October!
I would like to ask you a question. Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?
Take a day or two this month to incorporate some very pink lessons!
Check out Breast Cancer Awareness for Kids
Whether breast cancer has impacted your kids’ life from 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: How to Talks to Kids About Breast Cancer. Susan G. Komen is another amazing resource that organizes fundraises 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!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
