Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
My niece did this for a short while at age 2/3. They were in the middle of moving and then the new house was under construction - she was out of her element. Once her life settled she stopped.
I would definitely let my DD play with yours. It's not contagious! For whatever reason, it's therapeutic for her. Almost like twirling hair when tired.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
That makes me very sad. I think its terrible for a parent to not allow a child to play with another child for that reason. 
One time I had DD at a play ground and we saw a little girl with a physical disability. It made no difference to DD, as she went right up and said hi like she would to any other child. Kids have no idea about this stuff... its the parents that make it an issue!!

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
If the other moms see your DD doing it maybe they are worried that their DC will start doing it too- kinda like learn the behavior or mimick it? That is the only thing I can think off. I would totally have my DD play with yours- I think its sad and unfair to exclude kids because of things they can't control.

ITA!
If anything I would take the opposite approach and try to teach them how just because we're all different we still are all the same and can play together.

Of course.
There are lots of insensitive people out there though. I'm sorry your DD has to experience this.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
Of course! I can't understand why these parents would not. It's so sad. Children learn by example, what kind of example are they setting for them?! 
Sorry you and your DD are going through this.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
I certainly would- and shame on anyone who says no! Unfortunately we live in a world that (some) people fear things they don''t understand.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
Yes I would.
As long as they were well behaved & got along, I think it would be good for both kids - your daughter to see that other kids aren't pulling their hair & to be more engaged with play and my child to learn to socialize with other kids.
I say the well-behaved part because we have had kids with ailments that made them very difficult playdates & my child was hurt.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
That actually just made me cry a little
My childhood best friend died from cancer when I was 15 and she was 14. She was diagnosed at 9 (I was 10) and she had chemo and lost all of her hair, and because of the nature of the cancer, was in a wheelchair.
I still remember how horribly people treated her, us, it majorly sucked. We were once asked to leave a very popular restaurant b/c she was with us
So, no, I would never do that to someone else

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
Do they know what is going on? I.e. are you open about it and it is common knowledge that it is hair pulling and not something else?
I throw this out there because if I didn't know what was going on I might decline a play date thinking that there is a possibility that it is something contagious and I should keep my child away for a little while. I have to admit, I wouldn't ask because I would feel like it was prying.
However, if I knew the deal, no-I would not keep my child away

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
I wouldn't even think twice about letting Ava play with your daughter. I mean, her pulling her hair out has nothing to do with what kind of person she is.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
Absolutely! And I'm at the positive comments on here. I'm so sorry you're going through this
I do think that some people are very insensitive and can't handle things that are not "in the norm". My DS is not a typically developing child. I actually lost someone who I thought was a great friend partially because of her insensitivities to DS. She acted kind of like he wasn't good enough to play with her child. It was absolutely hurtful and made me not want to go on playdates for a while, but I've found some people are just like that. Can't change them. It wasn't us or DS that was the problem. I usually explain DS's situation to other people so they understand and it really helps (and they feel more comfortable).

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
I would and have had. DH cousin's son is a special needs child and we always get together for play dates. Children are not judgmental and to see them play together was amazing. Yes, there was a little bit more of supervision and intervention required due to some behavioral issues but I would never let that stop me from bringing my son around this little boy whom we all love so much.

Re: Would you let your child play with another child...
Of course I would! Like some people have said, the parents set the example!
I worry about both my children when they reach the elementary school level.
Right now, my DS goes to school and has playdates outside of school.
I would not think twice about it.
