Children and Charity

We're still not entirely sure where our child has learned about locks of love, or that he can grow out and donate his hair, but he announced a couple weeks back that he's growing his hair out (and refused to go and get it cut).




My husband planned to get all the boys' hair cut the following day. When our son announced to his daddy that he would not be getting his done, explained that he's growing it out, and he'll be donating his hair. At first we were shocked, and said nothing to anyone, but mostly we figured he'd change his mind. I personally figured he was trying to have some control in and over his life, but as time passed we both realized he might just be serious.



My husband and I talked about this, without any kids around, and went over all our concerns. First of all he is a seven-year-old little boy, peer pressure is starting to become a factor, and if he follows through he needs at least ten inches of hair past the ponytail (so he'll need more that can pull back and form into one). There are so many factors to take into consideration, and he is a child (with a child's mentality), and for all we know he can change his mind at any time.

 

He is such an amazing little boy!!! He loves to do charity/volunteer work, he's always looking for ways to do things for others, and he is turning into a great little person. His father and I are so proud of the child we are raising...

First let me say, there are many great places to volunteer, and find ways children can volunteer. We're in a few groups, and if children are not allowed I'll check my husband schedule to see if I can do it, but we're always on the look out for things our children can do to give back to their community.
