Then suddenly, if they decide that they to want to read and write at age five, six or seven (if they have not been put off by then), they are proclaimed as not having special educational needs.

Conditioners do it

Why live with head lice when there is no need? I have successfully cleared head lice from my children's hair and have offered my advice to parents, with great success. All that is needed is time, effort, a lice comb and conditioner. Once lice are discovered, daily or every other day if pushed for time, you need to wet the child's hair, apply conditioner, thoroughly comb the hair section by section, then rinse off the conditioner. This removes live lice and a few eggs, and repeated over the next few days removes newly-hatched lice, breaking their cycle of hatching then laying. In my experience it takes two to three weeks to remove all lice - without a chemical in sight and no expensive outlay.
