Dear Family Coach

Dear Family Coach: My 13-year-old daughter has the most incredible red hair with ringlets. It’s really striking, and she gets a lot of attention for it. She mostly enjoys the attention. But often, people she doesn’t even know feel compelled to run their fingers through her hair. They just want to touch it. My daughter isn’t particularly touchy-feely, and she feels violated when someone touches her hair. How can I help her politely ward off unwanted touching when the strangers are only trying to be complimentary? – Redhead’s Mom

Dear Mom: Your daughter has every right to control how and when her hair is touched. It is an extension of her body, and she should be given complete power to refuse any unwanted touching.
