I hear it so often …
“It’s because she’s a redhead.”
SO. OFTEN.
And many time, it’s the response to a negative action, like acting out or talking back to a friend.
Since I’m a redhead and my husband is a redhead, I thought I would put out a few words on how we are raising our redhead. We’ve been there. Our parents went through the same thing. And we’ve been there ourselves. So now, we are taking that knowledge of all those redheaded years and putting them to good use.
Redheads are feisty and full of life. Red heads get into trouble but also love with their whole heart. They are tough and strong willed. At time, they go with the flow but then in a moment’s notice, the red head switches it up! So what’s the secret to parenting a red head?
Get ready for it…
The secret is … nothing.
Our redheaded daughter is four years old. I believe we can trade out “redhead” in the above paragraph with kid or toddler and it would be the same for your child, too. Because kids are messy and wild and obnoxious. And we love them for it! Unfortunately, redheads aren’t any different … at least what I have found. So, keep moving on parents! You’re doing right. There’s no secret formula. You just happened to be blessed with a child that has the most gorgeous hair imaginable. 🙂
