Childhood eczema can be challenging, especially when kids are under pressure, like starting at a new school or going away on camp. To help your child, consider these three points:
1. Work with a dermatologist to develop a personalised eczema management plan that includes skincare routines, avoiding triggers,and keeping appropriate medications at the office when your child experiences flare ups.
2. Equip your child with easy and accessible language to explain their condition to friends, teachers, and peers. Normalising the language
around eczema can help them feel more empowered and confident in social settings.
3. Instead of focusing on limitations, explore other activities your child can be involved in. For example, suggest indoor games or crafts when
heat or pollens are triggers, so they can still participate and feel included.
Help your child form their team. With proper care, support, and communication,
they can navigate their world with confidence.
