Here are some of our favorite resources relating to little gingers. We (as parents) want to make sure that our kids have the best start in life possible and sometimes that start can be a bit different for a sensitive skinned red head.
We’ve found some great sites for organic, natural sun screens as well as articles on how to help your child cope when he comes home crying, “they call me carrot top!”
We’ve got links to other sites for redheads – most are for the grown-up readheads in our midst, but all are great starting points for further research. (Trust me, both Gillian and I are research fanatics, so we know of what we’re talking about.)
We’d love your input if you’ve found a site or article that would be good information for other P.O.G.s (Producers of Gingers), just send it to us and we’ll check it out.
Enjoy,
Jeanine and Gillian
