Not Cutting Your Baby's Hair....

[LysesKids]

It's also silly to let your child's hair obscure their vision because YOU have a hang up about wanting long hair.

That's why ponytails... In Cherokee culture & many other Indian (American mind you) cultures, you don't cut the hair even if male...same with some Jewish; It's forbidden Deal with it.. My son had a ponytail at age 16 and his work didn't object

Just in case you didn’t notice but the post you quoted is from almost 7 yrs ago

I know this is an old post, but I just had a 3.5 year old DCB leave for JK3 at a "fancy" private preschool. Every day, he came here to my home daycare with ratty hair. I never said anything, just finger combed it after nap. They would get it trimmed, but it was still in his eyes and they never brushed it. I suspect he threw big fits for haircuts like he did for nail trimming (the kid had claws, it was disgusting) so they avoided them. One day, his Mom mentioned how they "hate to cut his beautiful curls". Apparently ratty hair is the same as "beautiful curls"...

I thought for sure once they sent him to the fancy preschool, they'd clean up his look. Mom is on my Facebook page, saw a picture of him at preschool this morning. Nope, same ratty hair / "beautiful curls"..... I just don't get how 2 well to do, highly educated people can think it's acceptable to send their child out in public looking like that. I figured they did it here because it's more laid back. Nope! Beautiful curls.... SMH. There weren't even that many curls, it was more snarls than anything.....

I’ve started putting kids hair up for this reason. It’s gross and they can’t see anything!!

That is what I do, too. Boys and girls. I pull it back during that day for sanitary reasons. Keeping noses, mouths, hands, and eyes clean is important in group care. Flu season has already hit with a ferocity locally.

A LONG time ago there was a little boy (he was around 2/3 years old) who had the LONGEST hair. It had some curls and waves but mostly it just hung on him. We did our best to him of course but Mom insisted she was NEVER going to cut his hair-at least until Kindergarten.

Well, it so happened that it was Picture Day. The Monday after the parents received their proofs, in comes DCB with a crew cut. I am like

Mom said she saw the pictures and she was utterly embarrassed. She didn't think his hair was THAT bad.

Umm lady...when you have how many people tell you to at least TRIM it....something isn't right!
