He won't wear a hat!

[Life is Good]

Thanks so much for the advice, ladies. It is good to know that there are others out there struggling with the same issue (DS is the only one out of his friends who refuses to wear a hat and it often makes things difficult at Mums group, especially if we all spend a fair bit of time outside). I told DH that he needs to wear a hat too and we plan on leaving them at the back door and never going out into the garden without putting it on. Hopefully DS will catch on. Tomorrow is the day we start the hat challenge. I am trying to muster all the determination to win this battle. Thanks you all again for taking the time to reply.

We always wear hats outside too, and I think that's helped a lot.
DS loves his hat, even insists on wearing inside a lot of the time

Both mine done the same, both just had to keep putting it on over and over, didn't say nothing except, you have to wear you hat and didn't make a huge fuss over it. Learnt not to fuss to much with my niece who then thought it a hilarious game to play.

While they were anti-hat though I did completely sunblock their head, straight through the hair to the scalp, it was nasty getting it in the hair but at least they were protected. With DD2 I bought a hat that had a sewn in chin strap, then I sewed in one at the back as well, so either way she pulled it got stuck, sometimes she would get it off other times she would give up. Now she wears it most of the time, but still pulls it off occasionally.

I don't have the answer as DD just out of the blue one day accepted that she had to wear it and now loves it..

DS however will wear a hat if it is pink
