When you’re Granddaughter asks what Epilepsy is

My wife and I are blessed with a five year old granddaughter, and yesterday we were looking after her after nursery.

The time came when it was time to go home, so she was put into her car seat, then proceeded to ask her nan several questions such as “Can you sit in the back with me and grandpa drive?” To which the reply was,” Because Mr policeman won’t let him” granddaughter naturally asks. “Why? “Because Grandpa has Epilepsy” Then came the inevitable question from our granddaughter ” what’s Epilepsy?”

I thought at that time was my wife had dug a hole for herself, but she answered the question pretty well and then said ask your mum about it. (Her mum – our daughter used to be a young carer for me).

I sent my daughter a few videos a five year old can understand about epilepsy and the one below was one of them.
