Parker’s awesome pre-haircut routine to help prevent tears and fears

Parent Info

As you know Parker is 6 and has Down syndrome. He used to hate haircuts. Until we started this awesome routine to help chill him out.

• We watch old videos of successful calm haircuts (before I had any of him, we used YouTube videos)
• I apply DoTERRA Balance blend to his feet and In Tune to the back of his neck
• I keep him calm before we left with a nice heavy blanket while he watches videos
• I generally change up the salons he visits – I don’t want him freaking out about having a new one if they quit or leave! We have a handful of nice ones on rotation.

Do you have any clever tips to prevent meltdowns at the hairdressers?
