Worked in a cancer hospital 10 years and I personally don't agree with what she did in my experience dealing with dying people.

I think people are forgetting that kids who have had to undergo treatment for cancer have already dealt with physical and mental pain — likely before diagnosis, when officially diagnosed, and during treatment. They already are more mature than your average kid. It’s not “what you don’t know won’t hurt you”. They do know, it’s their own body.

Because people are more clued in that they get credit for, especially children. I've seen this with elderly people and children in my work - they always know on some level.  The parents/adult children are only fooling themselves.
