[quote=Anonymous]My 4 yo is a complete tomboy, who loves playing superheros and getting dirty and doesn't give a hoot about dressing "fancy." However, she has streaky blonde hair that people regularly single out as "beautiful" or "pretty," and I've definitely heard her describe her own hair as such. I find it really disturbing, honestly, partly because I'd never want her to believe that other colors and textures of hair weren't "beautiful," and partly because I'd hope she doesn't judge people first by looks. To counter these influences, we talk about dad's beautiful brown hair or a teacher's fabulous curly black hair, but we also talk a lot abougt how cool it is to know people with different kinds of minds under their hair, and how all the thoughts we think really make us who we are.
