[QUOTE="totoro, post: 208809, member: 3155"] It is fear for N. Anxiety, fear and sensory overload. The sound of the water! It is too loud. She will not let me drain until she is out of the room. I put on shorts and stand in the tub with her sometimes when she really worked up, I help her lay back and float around so her hair gets fully wet. I tell her she is a mermaid... at first she fought it. Scared! But now she finds it relaxing. It hurts my back, but it does help calm her and sometimes just getting her hair wet is enough! We skip the wash. It hurts she cries, I have to rub very softly, to put the shampoo in and wash it out. She holds a washcloth over her eyes the whole time. The bathroom is always a mess. One other thing is if she wants to bring it in the tub and it wont ruin it, I let her. Any of her toys or doll. We will wash there hair first. I make them cry and ask her what to do to help them. How to be softer etc. After we get out I put leave in conditioner in and finger comb it, i go from there. If she is calm, I can softly brush it or I let her brush it with a big horsehair type brush.
