 | go4mall,
Perhaps your daughter was just curious as to what would happen. I cut my hair several times as a kid just because I was fascinated by scissors and by how it would always grow back eventually. (Err, maybe this is a bad example, as I started shaving my head when I was 17 and so have for the past seventeen years.)
But don't worry. It could just be natural curiosity. My younger daughter, Carmen, cut her ponytail off soon after I divorced my wife and my two daughters and I moved from Germany back to the United States. She was barely five, and was upset to leave (she had never lived here before, although my older daughter and I had), missed the family we left, and was struggling in school to make friends and speak properly. My oldest came screaming to me one night as I was clearing dinner, "Daddy! Daddy! Carmen cut off her ponytail!" Sure enough, she was sitting in the living room with her ponytail in her hand. I nearly fainted. I thought surely she was emotionally scarred for life by the divorce. I trimmed her up as much as I could on my own and took her to the room. I asked her if she felt all right and why she did it. She smiled and said, "I wanted to see what I'd look like with short hair, Daddy."
Sorry about the length...
