A Therapist’s View

When a child has a condition causing hair loss, there is a negative impact to their self esteem. Psychological trauma and the social strain of being different from their peers is an added burden that can be immediately helped by Komfy Kids.

Komfy Kids are useful as a therapeutic tool as well as providing a “buddy” to whom children will automatically relate to. These therapeutic dolls provide a great level of comfort and safety for children.

Komfy Kids provides a transition for them, enabling them to identify with their new friend with or without hair and recognizing that the nature of their friend does not change.

Komfy Kids are a great starting point for opening communication about a sensitive subject in a non-threatening and safe manner. For parents, relatives, and friends of the child, it is a way to normalize the hair loss and remove the stigma attached to it.
