Something that I recognized in life as a mom is that your children are watching. I have had many hiccups including the daily struggle I have with depression. But my biggest things has always been to show my children that you keep going, no matter what.

The first time I cut my hair, my kids came to the barber with me.
Quick plug to my boy for hooking me up that day, even though he thought I was going crazy. 😂. Anyway, youngest daughter was about 4 years old and she witnessed me shave my head with no emotional attachment and walk out with confidence. Both girls asked if they were next. lol

But who knew that I was teaching them a level of confidence that would be so important today in a world where image, selfies, and social media would take over. So when my 14yr old daughter asked to shave her head, I was actually opposed to it. I was afraid that she would regret it. She had asked me before but I said no. As I remembered my freedoms were limited growing up, I decided to let her do it. She knew where my wig container was and I already got her into that, so why not. Much to my surprise she loved it and was not shy about rocking it. She is actually who gave me the motivation to shave mine again, I was sitting on the fence for a while.

Be mindful what you do around your children. Remember they are always watching and can be influenced both positively and negatively. I may not have done everything right but at least I can say my beautiful daughter has learned to stand strong in who she is.
