Hi. My daughter (8yo) was recently diagnosed with alopecia areata. She has been rapidly losing her hair and it's getting to the point where it's hard to hide the bald spots. I was wondering how other parents are dealing with this in the classroom. She is a shy girl but doesn't want to wear a hat. Should I go to her classroom and explain her diagnosis with her classmates? What would I even say? I appreciate your input. This has all happened so quickly that I'm still trying to come to terms with it all.
Thanks,
Sandra
