Craig,
If I had a child with EP there is no way they would go to
school unless the teacher, nurse and principal were told
about it.
If we want people to be educated about EP who better than
we who have EP to educate them? I think the idea of a
puppet show or something like that is very good. Reading
Jewl's book and anything to educate the children of what
happens when you have a sz is good. I think telling them
that there are different kinds of szs is a good idea also.
I think it would also be a good idea to tell the children
how to act after a child has a sz.
