Hi everyone! We as parents are new to Scoliosis and to this site! Our 12 (almost 13) year old daughter was just told she has Scoliosis. Of course we all went through the emotions of it all. (we just found out days ago). I am really scared for her because she has had issues with her knees for a long time and know we have to worry about her back. She is worried that the kids in school will make fun of her. And looking back when I was in school, they more than likely will. I have not had this problem to deal with yet and any advice would be great. I want to make sure I say and do the right things to make her feel as confortable as I can. Is there books we should read, and things we should do as a family? Also, will strengthing training excersise alone keep it from getting worse? We just joined Curves for Women and we will be doing physical therapy as well. Feel free to email me at eidson@pixius.net. I would also love for my daugther to be able to chat with any other girls close to her age with the same thing. Of course she chats on msn messenger, yahoo messenger and aol messenger. So just email me if any of your daughters would like to chat with her. They might be able to support each other a little better than parents can. Just a thought.
