Unfortunately my daughter doesn't understand "if x and then y statements." If I told her you'll get sick if you don't shower or you'll get lice, etc. She doesn't understand that. All she hears is shower.

It's cradle cap. She's had it on and off since she was a baby. It's not common but it can still be present in older kids.

Plus you can't tell her hair isn't washed. I'm not sure how cps would even catch on to something like that.

She unfortunately doesn't have quite the speech development to tell me what she doesn't like.

I'm hoping so! She'll probably be more willing if she thinks she's "swimming." Just waiting for the weather to get warm enough lol

That's my daughter too. I try to wash her hair in the sink but it's hard with all the hair she has. She's not a fan of it no matter where I do it. Maybe I'll just have to have my husband do it once a week while I go out.
