My daughter is 2.5 and often pulls/twiddles/curls her hair around her fingers. She does this mostly when tired or just relaxing. She also does it in bed before going to sleep.
I noticed a few days ago that her hair on one side is looking very thin and today whilst having a bit of a deep clean of her room I found lots of hair behind her bed and on the floor!
It's already such a habit for her, how the hell do I break it?
She's a strong willed little force of nature so just telling her probably won't cut it.
I doubt she'll entertain the idea of wearing gloves or mittens - it's trouble enough when it's cold. We've only just got her sleeping through most nights, I don't want to upset this new found rest for all of us.
Should I cut her hair? Even if I get I fringe put in she'll be able to pull it.
Help please!
