Make sure he knows he's not alone and that he's special. Alopecia makes him different and that's not a bad thing. Kids are cruel sometimes but they can also be extremely understanding if you just give them the information. God Bless.

At 12:15am on February 9, 2009, Cindy said…: HI Talia. My name is Cindy and my 7 yr old suffers from Alopeica. I am very sorry to hear that you and your son are having a hard time coping with this. I see you are in PA. Have you contacted the children's alopeica project. I think they can be a great resource to you and they are based out of PA. www.childrensalopeicaproject.org . They run several events through out the year and in Aug is their first big kids conference. CAP focuses on building chidrens self-esteem. I think they can offer you help.

I suggest you send a letter home to the parents explaining your son Alopecia so the parents can assist with helping their child understand it. If you contact NAAF or even CAP I think they can offer you assistance with this and even provide to you materials to do a presentation to the class.
Please write any time. This is a great board to get support and advice from..
Cindy

My brother and his 8 year old son both have shaved heads. Children can be cruel, maybe you can explain to his classmates what is going on with him so that they at least understand. He is a handsome young man and I'm sure you are very proud of him.
