My daughters first loss of hair was right before her 1st birthday. It was a complete loss and took 2 years to grow and now she is working on her 2nd loss. The doctors were not quite sure the 1st time. They said a late bloomer of losing all her baby hair or alopecia. Either way, there was nothing we can do about it. Now...... She is handling it better then me. We homeschool so I know it won't be as hard for her but still I fear how things will be in the years to come :(

My daughter is 8 and loosing her hair right on top of her head just like the girl in the main picture.  At first i kind of think she liked the attention she got from it but now I think its getting old when all the kids and adults want to know why she has no hair on top her head/bald spot.  I was debating about having her just get up and talk to her class about it so everyone knows and kind of help educate other kids but I dont' know if if that would just draw more attention to it.  We might start putting makeup on it or get a hairpiece I just didn't want to push it when my daughter wasn't bothered by it.  It stinks not really knowing what to do and kids can be mean. She already had her first instance of a kid making fun of her so the lunch aid told them to both go to the principal and tell him whats going on. I don't know what happened after that....

I feel the same way for my 11 year old girl

My first twin went au in about 4 months at the age of 3. The second twin was 7. One doesn't really care about it and the one who has dealt with it longer has learned to adjust. I have to admit that I am more calm about it than my husband is. Of course kids can be cruel but as they are getting older, my boys have no problem telling people the truth. I can say though that even though I have handled it better, the pain of k owing that your children could be hurting emotionally never goes away.....the worst thing that you can do though is show them that it hurts you. Because he might feel as though he is doing something wrong.

here's a thing: my friend with alopecia gave me a great advice a couple of years ago. you should find a different source of confidence for your kiddo (and for you). hairloss is not the end of the world, and, as we all know, technology and medicine are pretty advance right now, so it will be fixed

Hey. I believe that children need help in everything. They can handle everything, but only they need our help and support. Children need our help in their studies very much. I do not always have time to help my son. so I'm looking for help from professionals who helped me, I bought from them an introductory essay - papersowl.com to the university. In general, help your child in everything and everything will be fine.
