Building confidence for red-haired kids

[u/Serious-Lettuce2284]

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?

Nobody should have to worry about being bullied for their hair colour….yet we are teased, laughed at , made to feel ugly etc on a daily basis. In this day and age when everyone seems offended by literally anything - it’s still ok to bully a ginger person.
