		<description>Hi Glenis,  

Thanks for your comments.  I understand your point that some kids wouldn&#039;t want to wear a tag of any description.  That&#039;s true.

It might be that this is only of interest to those children who are very easily injured.  I think they could be interested in options that gave them more protection at school.

Maybe this is something that could be discussed at the annual arthritis camp for kids.  It might be different if the young people came up with the style themselves.  For example it might be an ink stamp like the ones you get on your wrist at concerts.

One of the major problems kids face is that their health issues are usually invisible. Perhaps having an item of proof would make it real.  There could be a few options - bracelet, a neck chain, an ankle chain, a key ring, a ring or even a watch band.  

As jewelry is not usually permitted at school.  Maybe having permission to wear a well designed piece could even be a status symbol.  

What is certain is that it would only work if it was an option they could choose for themselves.</description>

		<description>I thought all of your suggestions were good, but I wonder how kids would feel about wearing a tag.  

I found all your other posts helpful and interesting.</description>
