When a kid has a terminal illness, usually the parents try to explain what's going on to the kid, even if he/she's like only 3 or 4 or whatever. Maybe not like "There's a tumor on your brain that is cancerous and the neurosurgeons say that you have 6 months to live", more like "The doctors say that you are very sick" I mean, the kid's gonna notice that he/she's in the hospital.

I remember my mom explaining to me what was wrong with my cousin. Not the whole thing, but that she was really sick. There's old family videos with her bald from the chemotherapy.
