Child care and off times

It's a difficult one. When my meds are just beginning to wear off I can mask it pretty well but unless I medicate soon after it becomes impossible to hide . My 6 year old is very comfortable with my Parkinson's so he's usually the one saying "mummy you've got your Parkinson's back" which translates to meds time! He's brilliant. My advice would be honesty is the best policy. Children are very in tune with us and the more you try and mask something the more worried they might become and more stress for you which isn't good.
