    Hi Shay, your daughter is the cutest thing? This condition can take a toll on us as parents emotionally. Once you have time to absorb it all things will get better. How are you and your daughter doing? I hope you find the comfort in this site that we do..Cindy

    Hello and welcome, Shay!
    There is also a lot of good information on the National Alopecia Areata Foundation web site. When she is ready for school, you can get a free school pack which includes a video that the teachers can play for the school to help everyone understand the condition.
    Go to www.naaf.org.
