If a child is born chronically ill - or becomes disabled early in life - they may not understand they’re sick. When your “normal” is pain and suffering from the very early years of your life - you assume it’s the same for everyone else. /3

Thank you for this post.

Young children also haven’t learned to verbalize how they feel. Learning to describe symptoms and pain is a skill that you learn over time. It’s not taught. Children can't do it. They just know they’re tired and don't want to play. They don't want to go to school. /4
