He doesn't pull his own hair, just mine.
Not enough information here, and what there is sounds contradictory. Is he playing with your hair or pulling it? No way to help you without some details and some context.
I'm not sure what you are referring to. My kids never really played with my hair.
Pull or play? More info ..
Pull or play? Whatever it is, I doubt he'll be doing it when he's 13.
Our son never pulled my hair beyond the toddler years but I taught him to be gentle and he still likes to brush it (he's 17 now).
His future wife is going to love it.
Pulling hair and causing you pain might have become a game but it isn't playing.
Tell him to quit it already and there will be consequences if he doesn't.
My youngest is 5 and has played with my hair since he was tiny. For the last couple of years he has known how to be gentle. He does it mostly when I read to him and his brother at night. Basically, my hair is his "security blanket.". I wouldn't be surprised if he still enjoys brushing my hair when he is older, but he is already plenty old enough not to pull.
By the time he's 11, he should know better than to pull anyone's hair. Your title says "play" but your post says "pull." If it's pull, then there should be a consequence. He's too old for that. If it's "play" maybe he just like's hair and may turn into a barber or hair designer. I would not mind my child combing/fixing/playing with my hair when I have time, but never pulling it. It's just like hitting me - they know better way before 11 years old.
what a weird question.
does he fiddle with it, twine it in his fingers, or pull it meanly?
i'm so tired of these non-info questions.
no, by the time my boys were 11 they were long past playing with my hair. they did that when they were babies. i had super-long hair for most of my life, and a sensitive scalp, and made it clear to them from infancy on that only gentle touches were permitted.
why anyone would allow a child to pull hair for 11 years boggles the mind.
