children and threading

Re: children and threading

But why wait until it becomes a “major” issue? Why force the child to experience sadness/depression when the solution is so simple/inexpensive/not against Islam?

I’m not a mother so maybe I’m having a hard time seeing this from the other side. But as someone who actually was bullied in elementary and junior high due to how I looked (stuff that was easily preventable if my mother had put some effort into it)…it’s not something I would wish upon any child.

All the talk about teaching children to be proud of their looks and not care about what other say etc. sound great as a concept. But in reality…when a 9/10/11/12/13 year olds hear cruel comments from their class mates…it truly does have an impact on their confidence. I know this from 1st hand experience and also saw my sister experience it too. Of course I would never advocate something like plastic surgery to change a child’s looks. But something as harmless as getting rid of facial hair…especially if the child herself is asking for help in dealing with the issue…I just don’t understand why any parent would ignore that request for help.
