My 2 yr old toddler dislike washing her hair, she will scream and cry if water drips on her face and resist bathing . I have tried shampoo shields etc but to no avail she will take out and jump out of the tub. I still have to carry her in newborn style" to wash her hair but it's putting a strain on my arms ! Pls advise

Have you tried distracting her with toys? or bringing her fave toy to the bath (not unless it's made of fabric). I find that this helps with my toddler. Maybe you can bring a barbie doll and she can wash the Barbie's hair together. Explore also what bothers her with hair washing. Is it the water in her face or the soap in her eyes. And lastly, you don't have to wash your tot's hair everyday, unless it's really dirty. From experience, the longer the duration between washes, the more tolerable it is for mom and kid.
