Storybooks that address different pediatric skin conditions can have a positive impact on coping and self-esteem in children.
TORONTO — Reading a storybook about embracing differences can reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem in children with a visible skin condition, the early results of an ongoing study suggested.
Havele said that Sotomayor's book"empowers kids, their siblings, their classmates…to ask questions, and it teaches patients not to be afraid of those questions, and to really lean into educating their peers, and their family members." At baseline, many of the children were either moderately or severely affected in terms of their quality of life .
This may not be surprising. Havele referred to more formal bibliotherapy , which has been studied in other pediatric populations, including patients with cancer and those who have experienced trauma.Pediatric dermatologists are perfectly positioned to play a role in improving the lives of their patients with skin issues."We see the impact of visible skin disease on children all the time," said Havele.
