Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I used to tell the kids so it will make his head nice and round like yours which usually provoked a smile from them.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Since we have an almost five year old and we're always out, we get asked this question many times a day! Most kids just ask why she has that on her head and in a very upbeat voice, I say, 'well, her head is flat like a PANCAKE - so this helps make her head ROUND like a BALL, like YOURS! Isn't that silly? We like to call it a crown, like a princess!'. Obviously you would have to adjust that for a boy (maybe something about it being like a football player and then do they like to play football, etc) ). But most kids start laughing and then they move along and it's not a big deal. I don't mind little kids being so forward about it because that's MUCH better than the adults who STARE and GAWK and WHISPER about her as if I don't notice ). But enough about that, ha!KimMia - 7/19/08Week 10 in DOCBand, one more week!On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 8:13 PM, lauralulei <cllulei@...> wrote: Hi everybody, this might be a silly question but what do you tell kids when they ask why your baby is wearing a helmet?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I tell them that his head isn't nice and round, and the helmet is to give him a nice round head. And to make him look like a race car driver, lol Betsy From: lauralulei <cllulei@...>Subject: advice what to tell kids?Plagiocephaly Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 8:13 PM Hi everybody, this might be a silly question but what do you tell kids when they ask why your baby is wearing a helmet?
