So DS has always hated having water on his head/face so showers or washing his hair in the bath has always been a trial. It was too the point we stopped swimming lessons cos we were just ending with hysterics at even lying in the water with his head on my shoulder. However in the last month its progressed to refusing to even get in the bath or shower and he's had maybe 3 proper washes in that time, the rest of the time I've been sort of wiping him down but its not the same as having a bath/shower and his hair desperately needs a wash!
We've tried ignoring his fear, reassuring him, bribes with new bath toys, special bubbles etc but its getting worse rather than better...
Anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
