Sometimes, people we love get ill and this makes things feel different at home. Maybe this person usually takes you to school but now they can’t because they need to stay in bed and get better? Maybe this person lives somewhere else but the adults in your home have to go and help them now that they are ill? Maybe this person has had to go to hospital to get better?

People getting ill and needing help is normal. Feeling sad, worried, or confused about it is also normal.

Talk to the adults in your house and ask them to explain to you what is happening. Remember that they might not know all the details themselves, but they might be able to tell you something.

Tell the adults in your house, or talk to your teacher,  if you are worried about someone who is ill.
