Hi, my daughter is diagnosed with absence seizures. During those seizures, she looks like she’s daydreaming. I don’t know enough about her condition, can you tell me something about it?

Hi, Absence Seizures affect both sides, but not the entire brain. Your daughter may look like she’s daydreaming, but she actually isn’t aware of anything that is happening in her surrounding. Don’t try to wake her up, because she will momentarily unconscious. Many children have symptoms such as chewing, smacking their lips or swallowing repeatedly. When the absence seizure is finished, don’t expect your daughter to remember what happened. She will only have a feeling that she missed something. Absence Seizures last very short-usually few seconds. Sometimes they can appear several times a day. Absence Seizures aren’t that harmless as they look. Children are missing information, and this can easily affect their learning.
