Way cool on the little league!

Alex has hit a math 'wall' finally. The beginning algebra took serious work
and taking the class twice to get a somewhat basic knowledge but he didn't
retain the info and has trouble applying it outside the class assignments.

He's currently in the completion to algebra class and it's just not
happening. Last marking period he had a D+.   :-(

Have you tried just soaking the area a few times per day and exposing to
some sunshine? Sometimes that helps Alex's hands and other times it doesn't.
Alex used to get the eczema on his legs, arms, buttocks and private parts
(ouch again! what is it with my kids????)  but not just the hands.
Always worse in winter: dryer/cold air and no sunshine 'cause we're wearing
gloves.

The best stuff thus far is now Pandel.
