[blparent] Washing toddlers hair in the bathtub.

[Star Gazer]

				Why not try the shower? The spray is uniform
and it's constant so no need for her to guess or wonder about when water
will hit or with how much force.

Hi Tara,

I faced that very same situation a few weeks ago with my daughter as well.
So, I decided to have her help me in rinsing her own hair. I gave her a
little cup and allowed her to fill it up with water and pour it over her own
head. If she doesn't rinse the shampoo off completely, I simply asked her if
I could help pour water over her head once or twice.  She usually allows me
in the end. This has helped tremendously. I think it helped my daughter to
have a bit of control of the rinsing process. Hope this helps.

Kia
