Guys I'm completely lost and I don't know what to do!
My LB is completely awful when getting his haircut. He use to be semi ok, but then one time it all changed and he was absolutely hysterical. We went to a children's only salon and it was so traumatic! We had to hold him so she could finish. We tried to take a different approach this week and went to a sensory salon who had a reached approach, anyibholding. They brushed his hair and he was so hysterical they refused to do anymore :(
He has glue ear and I think a lot of his trauma has come from constant doctors appointments for ear infections from when he was younger. He's having grommets fitted tomorrow but I just think that isn't going to solve the hair cutting issue! He's old enough now to decide he doesn't like it!
I wouldn't have an issue with him having longer hair, it's not me trying to implement fashion on him... but he's such a little boy and is SO messy! I want to keep it shorter!
Does anyone have any advice or experiencing the same thing?!
Some hair dressers are telling me that holding him will create a negative relationship, others telling me he will grow out of it.
I've tried cutting it myself, role play etc but NOTHING has worked :(
