My DD5 has ears that stick out a lot. We think she's adorable and beautiful, but since the day she was born her ears have been very noticeable and 'sticky outy'. We have never discussed this with her, but on her first day at school they drew self portraits using a mirror and hers was a lovely picture.... with ENORMOUS ears. She wrote the caption 'this is me with my big ears' (well the teacher wrote it but that's what she said). We've asked the teachers if she's mentioned her ears or if other kids have and the teacher said she hadn't noticed anything but would keep an ear out (pardon the pun!!).
Since then I have looked into ear pinning and have looked at results in children her age. I think it would be beneficial for her to have them done now, before she's too old to be hurt by cruel comments from other children... I think it's inevitable really as they are very outy. I'd love her not grow up and not care what other people think of her ears, but in reality it just doesn't work like that does it.
Does anyone have any similar thoughts or experiences of getting ears pinned back in a child this age? Thank you.
