[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tell my six year old this any time she whines about getting her hair combed.  I don't see the issue.

It's not about being pretty, but taking pride in one's appearance.  [/quote]

Really? You tell your 6 yo that beauty hurts? SMH... :( [/quote]

Yes, it's true and something that she will have to make choices about.  Combing her hair is necessary and it can hurt (especially if you are six don't keep your hair pulled back).  Like a PP, my daughter will sometimes choose impractical shoes.  At the end of the day her feet hurt.  Next time she knows that she can either be comfortable at school in her sneakers or she can where the uncomfortable shoes again.  Her choice.

She is the one that deems long hair to be beautiful.  She is welcome to get her hair cut and avoid the tangles.

She is old enough to know the difference between inner beauty and being made-up physically.

Lol, I'm shaking my head (hopefully not smacking it) but thanks for the tip![/quote]
