| 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.

Hair Club for Kids |

 This is an interesting thing that we just found out about. Did you know that the well-known Hair Clubs (yes, of the infomercial fame) have a charitable foundation for kids with hair loss? We sure didn't. This little blurb is taken straight from their website:
In 1992, Hair Club founded a non-profit organization to provide free hair restoration for children battling hair loss as a result of illness.
Hair Club understands the importance of self-confidence at an early age. These solutions allow children the confidence to maintain an active and exciting life. We aim to use our knowledge, skill and resources to help kids everywhere experience more.
We found out about this program by reading a post from a teen with alopecia who was talking about getting her wig from them and how much she liked it. If you are interested in finding out more about their program you can link to their website here. And to the young lady who posted about her new wig, thanks a ton. You won't ever know how many other kids you may have helped by your post.

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.
