It's a good idea to check your child's head often for lice. Caught early, the lice removal process is shorter and simpler. The most common spots that lice eggs are found are at the crown of the head, the nape of the neck and behind the ears. Simply have your child sit on your lap and look down while you inspect his hair and scalp. Let this be a time for you to bond with your child through physical contact and special time.
