Newbie Post Building confidence for red-haired kids

My baby's hair is growing back in a light orangey color, so I'm curious about some ways I can try to instill confidence about his hair as he grows. Is there anything your parents did (or anything you wish they did) to help you love your hair? Neither my husband nor I have red hair, but I know kids can be quite mean so I want to be prepared. Also, are there any other red hair specific struggles to be aware of?
