We know that the last thing a parent wants to hear is that their child has lice! There are a few head lice prevention tips parents can do to help prevent your children from contracting head lice.

Let us know if you have any additional tips on our Facebook page.

• Encourage your kids to avoid sharing things that have been near another child's head. Including: hairbrushes, combs, hats, scarves, towels, helmets, pillows and sleeping bags.
• Teach your kids to hang up their coat on an individual hook, or some other separate area when they get to school instead of just tossing their coat on a hook along with another child's. 
• Regularly clean things that your child's head has direct contact with, such as car seats, pillows, head phones.
• Review some head lice pictures to help you understand what you are looking for in your child's hair, including live lice and nits (lice eggs). 
• Recognize the symptoms of head lice. Symptoms include itchy scalp and small red bumps or sores on the back of your child's neck and scalp.
