I feel quite bad... DD 6 has been making a fuss about wearing a hat outside, saying it was itchy, it messed up her hair etc. I enquired further and she said some kids had been making fun of her because of the hat (hat is not unusual in any way, standard winters hat).
I said to ignore ig and thst dhe looked fine. After weeks of my pestering and her refusing to wear it, I bought another this week (a different style) and she said the kids were teasing her again so she's refusing to wear it!
She's an otherwise confident girl but is quite conscious about physical appearances recently. I feel bad that she isn't confident enough to ignore the teasing and that I've gone wrong somewhere.
TBH I have confidence issues too but not with clothing or appearances so I'm not sure how to approach this. Aibu to ask how I can teach her to deal with teasing and boost self confidence.
TIA
