You might find some help in my book, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It's available on Amazon.com. It's helped a lot of women feel better about hair loss, and it's fun to read!
Hugs!

You are right, alopecia is often harder on the mom than it is on the child!
This is a good step, coming on AW. You will find a lot of help and support here.
If your daughter is getting a lot of hair loss, you might want to find a partial wig; just google "Half wig" or "Partial wig" and a lot of resources will pop up. My favorite online wig resource is www.wigsalon.com. Another option is a hat or head wrap. Ask her what she is comfortable with -- make sure she is part of the decision-making process.
Let me know how it goes. Also, if you want to educate the teacher and the school, there is a "Parent Pack" on www.naaf.org with free video that can be played for the school. When kids are educated on alopecia, they tend to be understanding and this will eliminate most teasing.
