What age should child w/cf find out about life expectancy? please answer

[Guest guest]

I have a dilema. A flyer was handed out to every child in every

school in my town regarding a CF walk in May. A woman in town has a 4

year old with it. She made the flyer.

My Eddie is 8 w/cf and Greg is 6 w/cf. They know a lot about CF, but

they don't know the average age of life.

The flyer contained a sentence. " Their life expectancy is only 32

years old " .

Please give me advise. Do I have this sentence removed? (It will be

sent home weekly until May 18th, and is probably hanging up in the

schools).

How old should my boys be before I tell them this? I'm so afraid

Eddie is going to read it.

My personal opinion, and I am very honest about CF with my boys, is

that I think he is too young to know this. I was thinking more like

12 years old?
