any tips on washing DD's hair?
"me again" wrote in message ...
Both of my DS's hold a pair of swimming goggles over their eyes and also lie back in the bath while I do it. DS#1 is beginning to prefer showers now anyway so he does it himself in the shower sometimes. We also did swimming goggles when my kids were little, and they worked great. In fact, I bought scuba masks for them, which was fabulous because they could snorkle in the bathtub and find stuff I dropped in there. Very very fun addition to the bath. Then, when they were about 4 they discovered the joy of showers, and still with swimming goggles they learned how to wash their hair themselves. Goggles disappeared by the time they were 5 and were experienced showerers. Too bad they seemed to have forgotten how to take showers now that they're 'tweeners'.

In standing position, I have her head facing downward and hands covering face. Are there any better methods? Thanks in advance! Jean |

Are there any better methods? Thanks in advance! I have my kids tip their heads back, so that water and shampoo don't get into their eyes. When rinsing, I use my hand to prevent water from running forward onto their faces. I don't understand why you would have their heads "facing downward"; wouldn't that mean that the water and shampoo from their hair would run down their face and into their eyes? David desJardins |

any tips on washing DD's hair?
i have an almost 2 year old who hates having water on his face, one thing we
use is an empty clean shampoo bottle, you can squirt water from it and its easier to controll the stream of water than any other way that we tried (cups, detatchable shower head various other containers etc..) just have her look up and you can squirt the suds away!!! when we just really need to douse his head we make a game out of it (one, two, three, SPLASH!!!!, or use a washcloth, we'll get it sopping wet then lay it over his head and say hat!! he absolutely loves hats, so this is a winner with him!) that helps sometimes, gives him a chance to get ready for it and also it makes it less scary and more fun. also, baby shampoo is a must.

My daughter, at that age, did better if she could hold a washcloth across her eyes and face rather than just cover them with her hands. Good luck. beeswing I did that as a kid...now I still hate to get water in my face unless swimming. my kids are used to getting their faces wet and seem to enjoy it. I guess we just started out slowly, looking up. FWIW, my DH rinses his hair looking down. I have done that too when it was short (waist length now). it usually does not go in eyes or ears that way, whereas looking up water has potential to go in ears a little more. Edith |
