Anything derogatory about length or texture
For many, their self-image and identity are tied to their hair. It’s a part of who we are, which is why adults should not make negative or careless comments about child’s hair. Period. Not when they’re being disciplined and definitely not when you’re just playing around. Keep it positive or keep it moving. Additionally, if you notice hair-related teasing between siblings that have texturist undertones, it’s a good idea to nip that in the bud as well. Kids will be kids, but it’s also up to us, as the adults in their lives, to guide, mold, and protect them.
