When B started second grade his teacher was concerned about his very bad habit of hair twirling. We chalked it up to nothing but a nervous habit that he will outgrow. No big deal. Then he started finger chewing...ughhhh that was seriously disgusting. He gave that up after we made him wear gloves and put nail biting stuff on his fingers.
We thought we were in the clear of all of these nervous little habits he had started.
Fast forward 4 years later and B is still hair twirling and we use to tease him and make light of it until just recently he developed a tiny bald spot on the top of his head. We finally gave him a final warning....no more hair twirling or we WILL shave his hair off!!
He loves his mop of a hairdo, so now he has decided to wear a hat ALL of the time...minus school and soccer practices.
Time will tell...I am secretly hoping I can cut his hair to look like it did last spring...short and clean, not this mop!!
You can see the spot on the top of his head!!
Hopefully wearing hats around the house is our solution!!

I used to twirl my hair when I was little too, but I never got a bald spot. That is some serious hair twirling! ;)
Hope the hat works! :)
