Supporting a foster child triggered by hair care, brushing, cutting

When we have a new child in our home, navigating brushing and styling hair may be tricky, especially for kids who have not had a lot of experience caring for their hair, or perhaps had past negative experiences related to hair care.

In this video, I share a ton of different things to consider and try but of course every kid is different, and it’s important to meet them where they’re at, move slowly, and ask for help if needed. And just a reminder, foster parents typically cannot cut their hair without permission.
