Hinduism
In Hindu tradition, sacred red string bracelets are known as "kalava" or "mauli," which translates to "above all." Stephen Knapp, author of the ebook "Basic Points About Vedic Culture/Hinduism: A Short Introduction," notes that the kalava is tied onto a man's right wrist and a woman's left wrist at the beginning of a ceremony. It is worn for and symbolizes blessings to the wearer. It also can be used in different rituals of worship (or "puja" to Hindu deities, and can be considered as goodwill to a person who offers it to another. The thread can be referred to as "raksha" or "rakhi" in a ceremony where a sister ties it onto her brother's wrist. The brother wears it as a sign of his sister's love and wishes for protection.
Does it hurt them to wear it? Granny is sharing her culture with them and in this multicultural world hinduism is recognized as a 'safe' religion (as opposed to satanism) so mi would low the girls to wear it till dem ready to tear it off on their own.
The bigger question is why is it making you angry? and to help let go of the anger skells
