For the past few months, Kaelynn has been quite "upset" when it comes to washing her hair during bath time. There was nothing wrong with the water nor the shampoo, which guaranteed "No more tears". Its just that the moments she realised that there is soap on her head, she would start crying for someone to wash it off asap. Sometimes I had to trick her to stop this stunt are:
1) Pretend
-to pour water on her hear and "mess" it up since her hair takes ages to get wet. And quickly apply the shampoo in the process. It works until she realises there is shampoo in her hair and is coming down her face.
2) Self-application
Get her to apply the shampoo herself and wash it, saying this is part of growing up. It works until she realise there's shampoo coming down her face.
3) DIY
Get Kristine to help wash her hair. Which is a good idea until she realised that there is shampoo coming down her face too.
4) Scolding
-her at the moment is the best solution but I do not want to do this often as I was afraid this might agravate her phobia from irritating shampooing to full blown bathing fear.
5) The shampoo is your friend
Make her realise the shampoo is harmless in the meantime would be the best solution and I am hoping that she would grown out of this. Kristine never did have this problem before.
