My son, 8, has thick wavy hair. It gets really bushy when it’s too long - like now. We’ve always kept it short for that reason. Last week when I mentioned getting a haircut, he asked if he could keep it long(ish.) I said sure, if that’s what he wanted. My philosophy is, it’s hair, who cares. The first day of school he came home and asked me to take him to get a haircut. When I asked him why, he said that two kids at school said he should. I explained to him that it was his hair, not theirs, and he should never ever ever do something just because of what his friends thought. He should only go by what he thinks. He grinned, and said “Then I don’t want a haircut.” I was super proud of him. I’ve always been a strong proponent of being an individual, and I’m so happy he understands. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PGEU94
