Helping Your Child Feel Comfortable
Children may feel embarrassed about having lice.
Remind them that:
- It is very common.
- It can happen to anyone.
- It doesn’t mean they are dirty.
- It can be treated successfully.
Providing reassurance can help reduce anxiety.
Preventing Future Infestations
Encourage children to avoid sharing:
- Hair brushes
- Combs
- Hats
- Hair accessories
- Headphones
While prevention isn’t always possible, these habits may reduce risk.
