We know that back to school is exciting, but it can also bring with it some unexpected challenges! One that no parent wants to face is a lice epidemic at their child's school. But, don't worry, we are here to help you face this situation calmly.

Why does this happen?

Lice epidemics are quite common in school settings. Children tend to be in close contact with each other, making it easy for these little intruders to spread quickly from head to head. But don't worry, there are effective preventative measures you can take to minimize the risk.

Key Preventive Measures

  1. Keep Hair Up: Keeping your child's hair up in a braid or ponytail can reduce opportunities for direct contact with other infested hair.
  2. Teach Responsible Sharing: Explain to your children that sharing combs, brushes, caps or any other personal hair items can increase the risk of spread.
  3. Educate about Close Contact: Teach them to maintain some physical distance during play or in activities that involve close contact.

What to do if your child has lice?

First, stay calm. Lice are not a sign of poor hygiene and can affect anyone. Here are some steps to follow:
