Agreed, she will become more attached to her dreads if she is the one taking care of them. If you do all the work there is a risk that in her mind it becomes mom's project.

AfterI read your post I asked her if she would like to be a part of the site...she got really excited! I also realized that I really didn't fully explain why we seperate and I knowI never mentioned mold...once I did she was like, "Oh, I didn't know, I see." Isn't it amazing how sometimes we can just omit something so important in our doing of life?Thank you NaturalWomyn!(I like to think I am a better mom becauseI have such great mom friends ...<3)

yes def. teach her how to take proper care of her dreads and what could happen if she doesn't (mold, mono-dread etc...) I would def. set her up a page on DLS too help her post some pics of her hair and ask questions when she needs to, feeling like a member of a community will probably be helpful. You're such a great Mom Panterra! :o)

I have an 11 yr old boy who has had his dreads since he was 7. I can relate to you when you say your daughter's hair dreads fast. My son's dreads were made for dreading too. He decided to dread too on his own.I don't have any advice to add to what has already been given but that I told my son that he should cleanse his dreads at least once a week to keep them clean.
I got him his own dread soap and he is not really wanting to use the apple cider vinegar rinse but it is starting to change his mind a bit after telling him what it does for the health of his scalp and dreads.
Nice to hear stories I can relate to! :-]
