What would you do if your 4-year-old daughter cut her hair?

The hair cutting is something many girls do at one time or other. But as TV goes, I always had (and have) only one TV in the house. The children had an hour a day to watch it and no more. The TV was off during diner so we coulsd all talk with each other. I´d blame the parents, if there´s anyone to blame.

My daughter did and she was 6 that time. We left her and her brother inside the room watching television and when i checked them after a few minutes, voila! her hair is layered and cut short lol..she took her school scissors which was not really sharp but still she managed to cut her hair and in order to make it look good again i have to resort to bringing her to the salon and have it fixed! hahaha she had a good time and i guess such stuff happens

What a tempest in a teapot! Why parents get worried over a few hairs on their kids head, is beyond me. Is it possible that the parents are so upset they entirely forget that the hair will grow back? Who cares, for heavens sake, the hair is growing back even as they speak? My kids cut their hair too, and I just laughed!

Hi. infatuatedbby. I would be very angry with her. I would not be happy at all. I think that my oldest daughter tried this when she was younger. I think that she only clipped a tiny piece of her hair though. I would be so upset, especially, if my daughter cut her hair to the point of it having bald spots. I would be totally upset! I know that her hair will take a while to grow back.

hi, of course i will not blame that child because he/she is still a child and as what you said they are influenced on what they have seen at television,so i will extend the patience and understand there childhood way of thinking.

i will forgive her definitely because i can't do anything about anymore, she already cut it, then the next thing is to take her to the salon and arrange her hair so won't look like a fool anymore... kids have different characteristics and their mind is easily been influenced by other things or people, kids whose age is 4 or 5 has not fully develop their correct thinking and they will do something without thinking what will be the result, when i was a kid i also did something stupid that when i think of those times i just don't know why i did that, but when i'm doing that back when i was a child i just thought that it was fun doing crazy stuffs

my daughter cuts hr own hair all the time , she hides under the bed with scissors , we try to be careful with the scissors and hang them high in kitchen but the moment we forget and she gets her hand on it she will go and cut her hair., last time it was real bad and I had to wait for five months before I could do anything decent with her hair. I just let it be do not give it much importance otherwise it will give her more encouragement, just tell her to go and look in the mirror..she will out grow this eventually or become a hair stylist eventually ...

I would tidy up the hair cut as best as I could. I know others have had their kids cut their hair and it does grow back.

Oh they tend to do it with out the TV to influence them. Mine who did not watch TV at the time cut her hair she was almost 5. She took a bunch from the front (bang area) all the way over to about her ear. I had to take her to a hair dresser to try to do something with it and she had a mullet. Worse she had it to be flower girl in her uncles wedding! When I asked her why all she said was "I wanted to see with my hair in my face" a typical 4 year old answer..

I would probably be the freaked out parent at first. i probably would not know whether to laugh or to cry first. then i would try to calm back down to reality. after all, it is only hair and she is only a child. the hair will grow back in time.

Well I would have her look in the mirror and see the damage she did to her hair.I would then have to find some way to make her hair look presentable.extensions or something.I would tell her never to imitate things she sees on tv.

I agree with you.The TV programms for the kids must be strictly supervised and guided in case something dangrous or violent happens.

that would be so funny i think it depends on where she cut it if u could just make a hair do that can cover it will that would be good until her hair can grow bac and all would be fine if not she could wear a hat (maybe that would be hard ) maybe she should just go and cut the rest of it so she never try to do that again lol

That's why every time a kid watches television even it's cartoon there's a sign that says PARENTAL GUIDANCE. It's the parents responsibility to keep watch on their children especially that the media's role in this generation is influential.

Well, i make her bald so that her hair will grow evenly hahahha, well kids at that young age are to curious over things, as precautionary measures I would probably hide, scissors matches or anything that might harm her.

A 4 year old having a TV of her own in her room?? Well, I don't know about anyone, but I would not give my daughters TV in their room at that age. I don't know yet at what age I would give them, but I would definitely not give them before 10 years, at least. Apologising to her grandma like that...it does seem like she says it all the time. But I don't blame anyone here, my daughter does it all the time when she does something she is not supposed to do. She knows she's not allowed, but she did it anyway and when I found out, she always says she's sorry and that she would not do it again. Children that age tend to push boundaries so they would know where exactly is the boundary. It sounds like that little girl is probably the same as my daughter, trying and testing boundaries. I don't know what I would do if my daughter cuts her own hair. I guess I'll have to see if and when it happens.

Well, first of all I wont let a 4 year old watch in her own room alone or without adult supervision. Kids are kids, they are influenced by what they hear and see. And what is the scissor doing in a kid's room?
