In other news,…..A mother has ignited debate over parenting methods after revealing that she shaved her daughter’s head to discourage what she saw as an excessive focus on appearance instead of academics.

The mother said she took the step after noticing her daughter becoming increasingly preoccupied with boys and distractions that, in her view, interfered with schoolwork.

Describing the haircut humorously as the “George Jefferson cut,” the mother explained that the gesture was meant to humble her daughter and steer her back toward her priorities.

Sharing the story on social media, she prompted a wide range of reactions from parents and followers, sparking discussions on discipline and child-rearing strategies.

“My daughter values looking pretty more than following rules or focusing on school,” the mother wrote.

“Since she can’t concentrate on her studies and keeps getting distracted, we decided to take away some of that misplaced confidence.”

She clarified that the haircut was not intended purely as punishment, but as a way to teach lessons about responsibility and obedience while she is still young.

Responses to the post were divided, with some praising her firm approach to discipline, while others felt the method was extreme.

The mother concluded by saying her goal was to redirect her daughter’s energy toward academics and self-growth. She stressed that while confidence is valuable, it should not overshadow responsibility, especially during formative years.
