    Hello and welcome, Aprille!
    How are youo and your little girl doing today? I know it's hard when your child has alopecia. You want to fix it and you can't. It's great that she is a very happy girl and she's lucky to have a mom like you!

    Welcome to Alopecia World,
    My daughter has had alopecia since she was 14 years old, right at the start of high school. She had spots during high school , her friends were very supportive. She is now 23 years old and lives in Washington, D.C. It hurt watching her loose her long wavy beautiful hair.
    She still is the same beautiful woman but without hair and a stronger will. My advice to you is to be there for her. Believe in her and be proud of who she is. She loves you .iam sure you and your family will be there for her. That's all that matters.

    Hi Aprille,Welcome to AW. I have an 8 yr old daughter who is well adjusted and happy as well. How is your daughter doing? It is very hard for us as parents to watch this happen and have no control over stopping. If you haven't yet I suggest contacted the Children's Alopecia Project. They are based out of Reading PA. CAP maybe able to offer you some support and connect you with a family near you. They will also be having their second Alopeciapalooza this summer a conference for the kids. Please write if I can offer you any help. Cindy
