Is Hair Chalking a Form of Rebellion in Children?

Hair Chalking is a new form of rebellion among children, but one that I would recommend that you allow.  Children are born to rebel and hair chalking is  a harmless, non-permanent form of rebellion that may just fulfill your child's need for rebellion without them participating in a dangerous activities.  This is definitely a case where you should consider choosing your battles carefully.

Check with your school to see if hair chalking is permitted.  Many schools do not allow it because it poses a distraction to learning.  If your school doesn't allow it, suggest to your children that that was what weekends, breaks and summer were made for.

Be careful not to go overboard with your excitement about your child participating in hair chalking.  If you are too supportive, they will not consider this as rebellion.
