This past week as I thought what I was going to discuss I came across this email. It did not have an author for this work but it did indicate it was written by a child. You are probably aware that your child learns from watching you and how you live and handle situation that arises in life. When you think they are not watching they are. Sometimes as parents we get so caught up in problems and situations that we forget our little ones are watching and learning.
As you implements solutions for supporting your child’s with eczema also think about your behavior pattern and how you want your child to handle his/her skin condition. While in their present represent that behavior. Also your behavior must be consistent as children learn by repetition. As your child ages he/she will continue to use that behavior, especially if it is one that is health giving and will stop the scratching.
