School has started.   Our child eczema hero is now 11 years old and sociable.  I encourage him.  He likes going over to friends’ houses and I take pains to have the driver drop him over even if it is several kilometers away.  Socializing is important for our growing children.  So playing over at friends is important.  I have to support that.  Necessarily those parents in the host homes will have to feed our children… but they may not be in the same mindset or have the same health awareness as we do.
