In this episode, I discuss how it is possible for your HSC to get a haircut without a meltdown. I get it. Your kid IS terrified. That is true. They’re uncomfortable. They’re itchy and they can’t take it. Their meltdown may have been traumatizing for you AND them, and the hairdresser. And I understand why you’d go to great lengths to avoid that from happening again, which is why you are the one cutting your kid's hair.
