My my 13 year old son was injured during a football game so he had some damage to his knee, and the doctor took the time to explain to him with the understanding that as an athlete how the injury can affect him if he doesn't take care of it properly. I respected the fact that he's spoke to the child in a manner a child can understand he also took time to explain to me as a parent so that we were all in the same understanding
