Was this injury my fault?

My daughter was playing on a play area on a twisty seat, she had her hair down and got it caught and now she has a bald patch around the size of a pound coin where her hair ripped out.

I feel awful for not thinking about her hair Sad

So next time you will think of it ... We all learn pretty quick on this parenting journey! Don't beat yourself up.

It's no ones fault, it's an accident. Don't beat yourself up

It's no one fault. It was an accident. I had long hair as a child. Pain in arse tbh, and mine was tied up most of the time, for this reason. Kind of pointless.

I let my girls..then aged 6 and 8, have one of those tiny cotton braids put in their hair on holiday one year. The 6 year old used to twiddle it when she was tired. Then about a week later... it came off in her hand..the braid and hair leaving a 50p sized bald spot Shock!!!

(Her sister made us take hers out within seconds as a result) I felt awful! But no harm done and it grew back...eventually!

It's only hair. It will grow. Main reason i got my hair very long hair cut when I was 11 as it kept getting caught in school chairs
