A dad has taken his toddler son for a manicure after the teacher said "painting your nails is only for girls" as he said he wants his three-year-old to enjoy his childhood without "strict gender norms".
Christian Shearhod, a Los Angeles County teacher, said his son first expressed interest in nail varnish around the age of two. After his son was told it was "only for girls", Christian took to TikTok to share a video of himself taking his toddler to get his nails done.
In the video, which now has more than seven million views, he said: "My son came home from school upset because his teacher told him that painting his nails is only for girls, so today I'm taking him to the nail shop!"
