Bathing and washing hair in children

 

Everyone who has children knows, that washing hair is a very difficult experience. While the children are bathing, everything is fine. But when you go to wash their hair. There is panic, screaming and noise.

It is easier when they are small. Put them in your lap, and move their head over the edge of the tub. The hair is washed quickly, and they quickly forget what was done. 

As they grow they no longer allow their hair to be washed. I washed my baby’s hair for a while when she would sleep during the day.

So she wouldn't have the trauma of washing her hair. As she stopped sleeping during the day, I had to take her to the bathroom to wash her hair.

So I would slowly wet her hair with my hand and rub the shampoo. And then I would slowly remove the shampoo with a wet hand. 

So she got used to washing her hair. There was no more shouting and clamoring. 

Now to get her out of the bathroom, I have to wet her hair.
