Oh my. Lessons are lurking everywhere, aren’t they! What a great thing she did! Big high fives for that show of (Karate induced) altruism!

[quote]I’m grateful that all of this happened. I didn’t realize that her hair was becoming a part of how she identified herself—reinforced subconsciously by people around her. I thought that it would be fun and exciting to get her hair cut. It didn’t occur to me that she’d feel like her entire being would be altered because of it. That she’d see herself as a lesser person afterward. My daughter is strong, beautiful, kind and brilliant and I don’t want her to feel that any of that is dependent upon her hair.[/quote]

Oh wow. This is really powerful and so true. I know because I’m a thirty-something woman who lives in fear of getting even a smidge “too much” cut-off. I can still remember being devastated over a “too short” cut over [i]twenty years ago.[/i]

Good for you for identifying the problem. And making me see mine.

See, that’s why I’m so hesitant to let Hana cut her gorgeous, long, beautiful blonde wavy hair. Ugh. I don’t want her to regret her decision. Who knew a haircut could stir things up so much!
