[blparent] Washing toddlers hair in the bathtub.

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Tara,

What II always did is slowly lean back with my arm supporting her head and 
neck until the back of her head and hair were in the water.  Then sI would 
gently wash, working my  way from the crown of the head back.  I would giver 
her a wash rag to hold when she was older, in caseany water got in her face. 
That worked much better and made hair washing a calm experience, much more 
able to control where the water goes that way, also easier to rinse out the 
shampoo.

Judy

Hi all, my little girl enjoys her baths except for getting her hair washed. 
It is a spectacular battle. She hates it when I pour the water over her 
head. She cries and wiggles and has a fit. Does anyone have any suggestions 
for how to make this more peaceful? I tried putting my hand on top of her 
head and pouring the water back so that the water doesn't get on her face. 
But she moves in cries and it's hard to control where  it's going which 
makes it go over her face which is what she doesn't like. Any suggestions 
would be helpful.
Tara
