Dad cuts ‘naughty’ kid’s hair short

This dad was at the end of his rope when he punished his child who wouldn’t listen. Now, he’s the one being reprimanded.One dad this week has discovered this the hard way, when his attempt at “discipline” about his young daughter’s hair exploded.Writing in a parenting forum to understand how it went so wrong, the dad explained that he’d been at his seven-year-old to keep on top of brushing her long hair daily.

“Every morning is a battle. I’ve talked to her mum about it and she agreed that I can get it cut if she doesn’t take responsibility for her cleanliness.”“I told her that I can do it, and so can she. I’ve shown her multiple times how I bring my hair over my chest to brush the bottom, which she doesn’t have the dexterity to do. I brush from the bottom and slowly work my way up; I know how to brush hair since mine is long … She doesn’t have to be self-sufficient, but she needs to at least try.

In the comments section, some thought the girl was too young to be responsible for her own hair, and a better solution should have been found.“That you didn’t freaking SHAVE her head, but instead she still has hair just below her shoulders, I don’t disagree with. I do disagree … with your cutting it in the heat of the moment. Saying ‘Okay, well, we’ve talked about this fifty times so tonight after work we’re going to have to cut it’ and then doing it later would have been a better approach.

“She IS old enough to problem solve, and your job is to coach her in effective problem solving, not do it for her. That’s how we prepare our children to become adults. You were close to a ‘natural’ consequence here but not quite since you intervened and didn’t involve her in the decision.”
