I struggle with how to talk to my 3 year old about her rough health. She's had a rough go, nothing super serious, but ever since she was 6 months she's had SOMETHING and been on medicine constantly. First it was her EE diagnosis with surgeries every 3-4 months, and then acid reflux and eczema, and now we are battling very persistent mollscum that we use lotion on that irritates the virus to cause the body to "fight" it off. It can be painful. She's so tough but now that she's older we get a lot of "why do I have to do this, so and so doesn't?"

How to you explain to your child who's had some health problems that it makes them special?
