Life after Lice – Some Coping Tips

October 31, 2017

Lice infestation is nothing short of a disaster. From getting rid of stuffed animals to excessive use of over-the-counter treatment methods, a lot will have happened in the few weeks following the lice infestation in your kid’s head.

However, the trauma of lice isn’t over after lice have gone. Your kid has gone through a disturbing life event (and even faced humiliation). The nightmares might still be there.

To help your kid have a healthy life after lice, your support is of crucial importance. From preventing lice for future to dealing with emotional pain, here are some coping tips to get on with life after lice:

Educate Your Kid about Lice

After your kid has suffered the trauma of lice infestation and is trying to move on with life, it is very important that you educate them about lice.

Being knowledgeable about lice will help them understand their situation. It will allow them to acknowledge that it could have happened to anybody and that there is nothing wrong with them.

Finally, it will help them deal better with what lies ahead.

Avoiding Head-to-Head Contact

 

Most lice spread when kids make head-to-head contact with each other. This means that avoiding head-to-head contact is important even after lice have left.

Lice cannot discriminate and can come back on the same head. Make sure your kid avoids head-to-head contact.

Create Situations to Build their Confidence

Lice infestation can have a de-moralizing affect on your kid. This is the reason it is very important that you work towards building your child’s self-confidence.

From encouraging them to participate in class presentations to having them meet other kids, there are many ways you can work towards rebuilding your kid’s confidence.

Have them Wear Hoodies

It’s not just head-to-head contact through which lice spread, they can also get into your kid’s head through upholstery.

From car’s seats to seats at the movie theater, lice can make their way back into your kid’s hair.

A good approach would be to have them wear hoodies when going out. This will give your kid confidence that lice won’t come back. What’s more, hoodies always look good!

Revisit a Professional Lice Treatment Center

Even though, you have had lice removed at a lice center, it is very important that you make a follow-up visit. These professionals will ensure that there are no remaining nits. This gives your kid complete assurance that lice are not returning.
