Hi Holly, My name is Cindy and my 7 yr old daughter has been living with AA for almost 2 yrs. It took sometime before all of her fell out and now is growing back. My daughter is amazingly accepting and has a positive outlook on life and does not let this awful disease get the best of her. As parents it is harder to deal with, but knowing that your child can live and accept it makes it seems not so bad. We just need to support our kids to make their dreams happen and help them blossom. Your son is handsome no matter what..Cindy

I am Sandy, Olivia's mom and I manage her profile for her. I know
how difficult it is when your child has alopecia. Olivia lost all of her
hair twice since age two. At age 8 she decided not to wear hats or wigs. Olivia handles being bald, very well. As her mom it took me a while to finally come to acceptance. But on the positive side Olivia has had some amazing opportunities as a result of her condition. She has shared her story in our local media numerous times and is now a Kid Caster on Radio Disney. We just completed a major project where we wrote, filmed and produced a music video about alopecia and bullying. Though Olivia has never been teased or bullied, we know others who have. You can view it on Olivia's profile, just click on videos and then on 'I COULD BE GREAT!' Let us know what you think.
