I know my experience is not the same as having a child but children are really curious. I have a niece who is six and she has asked me frequently in the past two years what is wrong with my leg. I have never really known what to say. I have told her that I got sick when she was a baby and that it hurt my leg. Then she wants to know when it will get better and why I can walk better sometimes than others. She has always seen me use my cane and likes to use it too. She has also asked me if she could get it and I always say no.
