what do....

what do you say to your child when she ask you about your vitilgo? Shes only 4 and very curious. this really sucks. I never prepared myself to tell my kid about this. hard enough to explain it to others. i just tell people its a skin condition called vitiligo. tell them to google it. owell I guess I need to sit down and have this talk with her n explain it the best I can. funny thing. I never really let it bother me until now.

  • your daughter is too young to fully understand i think 

  • Thank you. I explained it and she asked me alot of questions. But she understands now I even showed her pictures of Others Who Have Vitiligo. And She Understands lol She Thought I Was The Only one Who Had It.
  • I think you've got to explain it in a kid way because she's just a little girl. Anyway, that won't be a bother for her, because you're her mother and she accepts you just the way you are.
