Kids with epilepsy try new activities

Children who have epilepsy can now try new activities when they read a book that is all about their condition.
The subject has been dealt with in a new piece of reading matter that was written by two healthcare professionals.
Astacia Coates, a nine-year-old who read the book and has the condition, said: "It was easy to read and I liked the pictures. My friends will see it is not such a scary thing."
Kids who have just been diagnosed with the condition will now be given the book, which was devised by Professor Frank Baig, a visiting academic at the University of Bedfordshire, and Dr Chinnaiah Yemula, a consultant paediatrician who works in the town.
Last week My Doctor Says I Have Epilepsy - A Child’s Journey was released at the Child Development Centre in the town of Kempston.
Those who are aged six to 12 and want to try new activities can complete the book's word search and puzzles and enjoy the illustrations in it.
Kids who want to try value for money activities like reading will also be excited to find out that Sainsbury's has launched a range of books for pre-school children. Now little ones can be treated to a book while you do your shopping!
