[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to the script! Other kids will always be curious and they just say what is in their head. Her response can be as simple as " I was born this way and let's get back to out game".  Teach your daughter that everyone is different. Some show it on the outside while for others, it inside. Hugs to her.[/quote]

Agree with this. I have had psoriasis since I was a baby and all through my school years it was really rashy on my legs. Kids would call me "little rash girl." But I was raised to be really independent and confident so it never bothered me that kids said anything. My parents also never made it seem like any big deal which I think was key. The more you mention it or try to hide it I think the worse it'll be for her psychologically. Having psoriasis was just always my normal. This is her normal. It's skin. It's not a big deal. My best friend also had the cleft lip scar that someone else mentioned and it was the same for her. She didn't try to hide it. It was always "love me or leave me." Raise a girl who is independent and confident enough to know that this silly little scar doesn't define her.

FWIW, I occasionally would retort back, "yeah, but your face is really ugly" to let a kid know that they didn't bother me or that I wasn't going to put up with their sh*t, LOL. Maybe not the best approach but fighting back gets people off your back![/quote]
