The Eczema Treatment Support Kit is a free resource designed to help you and your child navigate eczema care with confidence – whether you are applying creams, giving tablets or injections, or managing baths and wet wraps.
These resources use calm language, routine, and distraction to reduce stress before it starts. Our goal is to help your child feel more in control and make treatments a predictable, manageable part of everyday life.

- Parent Guide: Practical support for preparing your child for treatments using calm, neutral language.
- Two Visual Storybooks: Koala Keilah and the Magic Leaf and Finding My Way with Eczema Treatments.
- Activity & Distraction Cards: Designed to keep your child engaged before, during, and after treatment.
- Magic Moments Passport: A sticker reward book to celebrate progress and effort.
- Wellbeing Tools: A breathing and mindfulness fridge card and a creative colouring book.

Why this approach is different
Words matter.
The language we use when talking about treatment can shape how children experience it. These resources are designed to:
- Normalise treatment without assuming fear
- Offer children age-appropriate choices
- Build confidence gradually
- Support emotional regulation without amplifying anxiety
- Encourage connection between parent and child
Rather than focusing on worry, these tools help children learn practical coping skills in a calm and supportive way.
