Re: FITTING DAY And STARES..Greetings Ana

[Guest guest]

Greetings and welcome to the group

I just anwered someone else's post in regards to stares and

comments. I will copy and paste below.

Back when my son was banded -

1) for the folks that starred - I would stare right back - depending

on my mood, it was either a big fat grin or quick " what are you

looking at glare " lol

2) for folks that asked about his band - I would tell them , " he has

a condition called plagiocephaly. His head shape is crooked ..this

band is helping to re-shape his head. For example, the same way

braces are used to correct crooked teeth. "

Very often i found that people that asked had child close to them ,

their own kid, niece , nephew or grandkid - that had an odd shaped

head - but they didn't know there was a way to fix it.

Hope this helps, all the best to you

Keep us posted on your plagio journey
