Hi, Your girls, in addition to the normal sturm und drang of early adolescence, may find your illness confusing and scary, especially this disease, with its on and off times. One day their Dad can do something, and the next, he can't,etc. etc. I heartily recommend Rashedi Ali's (Muhammad Ali's daughter's) book, "I'll Hold Your Hand So You Won't Fall: A Child's Guide to Parkinson's Disease." Although ostensibly geared to younger children, it is one of the most complete explanation of Parkinson's I have seen. I have given it to my children-in their 20's-as well as my husband,to read. And hang in there. Fortunately, adolescence is a self-limiting disorder. Good luck, Carole Hercun, psychiatric nurse & PWP --- MArilyn HAgerup <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Has anyone found some answers to being a parent with > Parkinsons?
