She said she was done.
Her daughter wasn't listening, she was being disrespectful AND she wouldn't brush her hair
I wondered what was going on in her life, but I didn't ask because honestly I believed she was capable of handling whatever had been dealt her way, but my job is to support
Well I have some experience with very thick, challenging, curly hair!
Here are 6 thoughts:
#1. Try a different brush. Let her buy one she likes.
#2. Ask someone for help. If you're stressed, upset or angry about something, someone or a situation use resources like grandparents, nannies, babysitters, hair salons and they can help and teach your children stuff while you take a break or work through what you're working through
#3. Think about what she likes. Does she like ice cream or a special show? Can you do her hair while she has dessert or watches her show?
#4. Think about what you like. Do you like braiding hair or nail salons? Can you try turning the hair brushing nightmare into a little spa hour?
#5. Consider kids love languages. Quality Time, Touch, Gifts, Affirmations, Acts of Kindness. Which does she appreciate most? Do more of what she appreciates and cool stuff happens
#6. Take long patient breaths because let's face it, good hair takes time 😀
