Hi, I'm Alex, 46 years old and live with MS since 1997. My wife and me are parents to a beautiful 4 year old girl and my five cents on MS & children is the following:
Don't underestimate their ability to learn and deal with a situation where one parent has MS. Our daughter is totally used to seeing me giving myself injections during the week. Heck, she's my assistant most of the time!
I have found that being straight and forward about my illness, helped shape the relationship with my daughter. Be frank and straightforward and you'll be OK.
