My kid has had an incredibly sensitive scalp since she was little. Even the slightest tug on her hair would make her grimace in discomfort. Yesterday, the nurse kindly tied her hair in pigtails with yellow rubber bands, but it kept bothering me, so I carefully snipped them off with scissors. The moment the bands came off and her hair was pulled ever so slightly, she flinched. That tiny reaction cut me to the heart once again.
