| Being a kid is hard enough, but being a kid with alopecia can be down-right difficult. Fortunately there are some fantastic organizations that offer support, friendships, and fun to kids who are dealing with this disease. There is the Children's Alopecia Project (the photo at left is from their camp), the I'm a Kid Foundation, and Locks of Love. There are cool dolls for kids of all ages, as well as web sites and coloring books.

Meet NBA Superstar Charlie Villanueva |
|
|
If you live in the USA and in either Boston, Orlando, or Houston , go grab yourself a schedule of the Milwaukee Bucks away games. Actually we'll help you out, as we happen to have one right here. Charlie Villanueva, recently traded from the Raptors to the Bucks, is once again doing Meet & Greets with alopecia kids at selected games. All as a part of his 'Charlie's Angels Road Games Program'. It is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to catch a great basketball game, meet other kids in your area who have alopecia, and the best part... to meet NBA Superstar Charlie V. himself. In fact, ESPN just did a great story on Charlie's meet and greets. Click here to find out more, and don't forget... if you miss him this year, there is a great chance that come November, Charlie will be doing it all again. "Go Bucks!"

Timez Attack is an amazing new video game exclusively for kids to easily learn multiplication tables. It's as beautifully rendered and entertaining as any top video game, yet as effective as endless flash-card drilling. We include a link to it here only because we have seen it work wonders. Ellie's 7(!)y.o. nephew, who is in special tutoring for his grades, just learned all the times tables (2-12) in a couple months. And he begged to play almost every day. They have a free version as well, so there isn't any reason not to try it if you have a child struggling with multiplication, or one who will be facing it in school soon.
