Witnessing sudden hair loss in children can be quite unbearable for the parents, especially if the loss of hair is due to some illnesses.
If you are some of the unfortunate parents who have to go through such ordeal in life, it is important for you to be strong and never let your children see how badly it affects you.
Remember that your children rely on you to give them the strength they need to persevere, so always show your support and be strong no matter how bad it makes you feel.
Talking to your children about their sudden hair loss will not be easy to do.
It will be hard to give understanding to someone at such a young age why they are rapidly losing hair.
However, there are methods that you can use to make the process of giving understanding easier and making them more comfortable with their condition.
When talking to your children about the loss of hair, you should use metaphors and stories.
Some research will be required, of course, to tell stories that portray bald characters in a good light.
The last thing you want to do is to associate loss of hair with something really bad.
These stories are meant to help increase their self confidence, so make sure you tell stories where the bald people are heroes and heroines.
Try to make them feel less bad about losing their hair.
Apart from telling encouraging stories with bald characters as the heroes, if you have a little girl, you should not be telling them fairytale stories that involve princess with long and lovely hair - at least until your girl's condition improves.
Do not tell her stories of Rapunzel and her long locks of hair.
Try to distract your kids as much as possible from thinking about the loss of hair.
Play dress up with them and buy colorful hats, caps or berets.
They can wear them around the hospital or home.
Tell them that by simply wearing the different hats and caps, they can be something that they want.
If they want to be a pirate for a day, all they have to do is to put on the pirate hat on their heads.
If you have a little boy that likes baseball, you can tell him that he can be the next great baseball player by wearing the baseball cap.
Imagination can come a long way in helping your kids deal with sudden loss of hair.
