can u try to find someone else to wash his hair ? my daughter behaved different for different care giver. and see if this is your problem or his problem ?
when my daughter was 3, she cried during the day time, and didn't cooperate with the maid to wash her hair. However, when i wash her hair at night , she behaved better and only cry a little bit. When i asked what's wrong, she told me she don't like water on her face ....etc. therefore, i communicate with my daughter and the maid . Finally, we solved the problem and she never cry now.
moonsay2001,
i understand it's very frustrated , but the most important point is don't scare the kid. Your son is 3, right ? i think u can explain to him and ask him what does he want . try to fingure out the way and communicate with your son . food luck
I've tried one month to use shower for my daughter (3 yr 3 mo). I used shower and carry her on alternative day. If she requested me to carry her, I asked her to promise to stand up on the next day. On the 2nd day, if she requested to carry her, I insisted her to stand up but promised her to carry her on another day. I would carry her on the 3rd day (not break the promise) but again insisted her to stand up on 4th day. At least, she STARTED to stand up and use shower. Now, she used to stand up to use shower on every day. Of course, she still screams when the shower on her head but she will not totally refuse it. Occassionally she will request me to carry her, I will satisfy her.
