Hi @Josie and welcome to the Online Community!   This is the perfect place to be asking these questions, I do hope your return to school is smooth and the students and staff are welcoming and understanding of your situation.   We have a factsheet on hair loss that may help, available here.   As you would no doubt have experienced, children of any age, are naturally curious and incredibly accepting of even the strangest of situations. Engaging them and making it a learning experience for them, whilst easing them into the changes with your self is a good approach. Liaising with the school counsellor is a great idea, and may I suggest perhaps the exec team at your school, maybe it could be a broader learning experience for the school community as well?   Does anyone else here have any experience of returning to work or to a teaching position that may assist Josie?   Cheers, Kate - Online Community Manager ...
