Just last year my daughter, who is in elementary school, lost all of her hair. She's had alopecia areata for a few years but we always managed to cover her bald spots. All of a sudden all of her hair was coming out. It turned into alopecia universalis. At first she wore hats to school, then we got her a wig. Kids immediately made fun of her for not having hair and then for wearing the wig. When school got out for the summer she was so relieved. She had a great low stress summer but just started school again. This is only her second week of school and to date there have been three different incidents of kids making very mean comments about her wig and also about her lack of eyebrows and eyelashes. The school has been very good about helping as far as letting the kids know it's wrong to bully but I'm feeling so hopeless. It kills me to see her going through this and I really don't know what I can do to help her. I'm pretty sure she's going to need counseling but other than that what more can I do to help her get through all of this? I don't want to put her in homeschool and withdraw her from social interaction because I don't want her to be ashamed or feel like there is anything wrong with her. However, at the same time I don't know how much more I can take of watching her be sad because another person put her down. Any suggestions or anyone who's been through this I'd really appreciate some ideas! Thanks
