[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 87848, member: 3647"] Welcome to our little corner of sanity. I could not agree more with the "Explosive Child" book. In a nutshell, it breaks down behaviors of children into categories: behaviors that require immediate attention (running into the street), behaviors that need to be dealt with (hitting younger sister), and ones that are not worth the meltdown (eating their peas). I would place what her hair looks like in the "not worth the meltdown" category. Honestly, she will be fine. You may be embarrassed, but you need to get past that. My daughter has sensory issues and hates hates HATES having her hair brushed. And she has fine, thin, strawberry-blonde, Arian hair. It is not worth the meltdown to brush it. I sent a note with her to Kindergarten explaining to her teacher why she looks like a vagabond. This year, she only went to school one day looking homeless. The other first graders teased her. Now she brushes her own hair. [/QUOTE]
