Ok so last summer it wasn't much of an issue, but for some reason last weekend, K kinda freaked out (crying) when I tried to do the strap on her helmet. I told her if it's not done up, she can't try her new bike....she just opted out and walked away.....darn.
I will admit that once....3 years ago she did get pinched when I was doing up the clip, but that day forward she reminded me everytime to "be careful not to pinch" - hahahaha
Anyhoo, today we went Underground in a mining display with her class...rule was...if you try on a Hard Hat and look up, and it falls off, you wear a Bike Helmet, or return to the surface (it was 95 feet down, but there were tunnels). she cried for about 15 seconds, and was cool with wearing it like an English Guard, below her lip, but above the chin.
I did try to explain to her, that if you just try it for a while, you will eventually just forget it's even there....no dice, she actually said " I want to know it's there" *cue invisible tears*- hahaha, that's my girl...dramatic when she needs to be - hahaha
She was ok, and I did see her get into the surroundings a few times and let it slip, forget about it for 2 or 3 mins, and then brought it back up over the chin....
Please help, she hates things against her chin or throat (like a turtle neck, or high zipper on a coat, or top button)
But, the funny thing is, I hate that too ...(I can and will wear a tie, but it pisses me off with every fibre of my being).....so what can I do?.
