Abstract
Longitudinal data estimate that 1 in 353 Australian children under 12 experience parental cancer diagnosis; and this number is increasing (1). These children are at increased risk of adverse psychosocial outcomes (2), however, effective family communication about a parental cancer diagnosis may support child coping (2) especially when developmentally appropriate language is used (3). Parents report communicating with their children about their diagnosis is a major challenge and want more instructive guidance from health professionals (HPs) about meeting their children's needs (4).
