Talking about your or your child’s bleeding disorder can be difficult. After all, symptoms like bleeding and bruising might confuse the people around you, or they could misinterpret the symptoms as something more serious (such as signs of abuse). However, it is important to make sure everyone knows and learns how to address the needs of your or your child’s condition.
The discussion guides below can make these conversations a little easier. Use them to educate people at school, at play or at work. The doctor/nurse discussion can also be a good way to get answers to your own questions about the disorder.
