Thanks, yeah my daughter was in kindergarten when her hair stated falling out. It's weird cause my daughters hair will grow all back then after summer break her hair is usually 90% out again it sucks, but she has a great attitude and can joke around about her AA. At the beginning of the year of school she usually gives a speech about her condition to her class mates just stating that her condition is not contagious and she hope that they won't tease her because she has feelings to. Ohhh every time she does this make me cry : ( she is so much stronger than I. As for my son he sometimes says mom when I start school all the kids are going to look at me, but I just tell him they are looking at you because you are handsome and he just laughs. We have never met anyone with AU or AA only online we really plan on going to the conference in California this Summer. I want my sons and daughter to know there are other kids just like them out there. I would love for them to meet these other kids that suffer from AA or AU. well girl you take care keep your head up and just be there for your son.

My son started pre-school this year. I sent a letter all the parents to create awareness of Alopecia, and that seemed to help. I think false eyebroys would be difficult too. Max has super blond eyebrows and always wished for eyebrow like his brother and sister. I breaks my heart, such a simple request yet I really cannot do anything about it
Thanks for the request. I to have a son with Alopecia Universalis as well as two other children with Areata it has been harder for me than my children. I have to say though they have great attitudes about there hair loss. My son that is 4 was diagnosed in 2007 we thought his hair fell out do to having a seizure cause they say when you have so much stress to the body you can lose all your hair but his hair never grew back. well if you ever want to chat or have any questions feel free to ask.
