I said little girls’ hair needs to be out of their faces, and of course, with four daughters, I know what that struggle can be. The stubborn resistance of a three-year-old is something else.We don’t want every day to be a wrangle. However, getting that hair managed is like putting on shoes to go to the store or making sure teeth get brushed. It’s just a part of the routine. The more matter-of-fact and firm you can be, the easier it will go (in the long run). Sometimes you can distract that toddler, or bribe her.
