Nighttime Lice Fears

Kids have a lot of fears at night. All the things that worry them by day are magnified one hundred fold when darkness descends and their bedtime approaches. This is especially true if the child is going through a lice treatment. For the child, lice is some unknown creature that lives in his head and is making his mother frantic. Kids need a lot of reassurance the nights preceeding and the nights following lice removal. Spend extra time reading to them or just playing fun games together. This will allay their fears of lice.
