Amongst all the other preparations for the Upsherinish, one is to prepare the child for his big day. It may not be easy for him to lose those beautiful locks of hair, and he may feel anxious about all the people and visitors who will be present. One should explain to the child of the event, and prepare him mentally and emotionally for the big step that he will now take. A good idea is to take him to an Upsherinish of a friend, and have him get a real feel of what his big day will look like for him.
