Relationships

Raising a child with eczema places tremendous strain on relationships. There are struggles with sibling relationships – sometimes there’s jealousy where the child without eczema wants attention like the child with eczema receives; sometimes there’s teasing, where a sibling has an unfortunate moment of unkindness towards a sufferer.

Another relationship issue could occur when a child with eczema might experience exclusion from friends. And there are secondary relationship challenges where exhausted, stressed parents experience friction related to their suffering child.
