Hi my son is 2 1/2 and hates to have anything on his head which makes it extremly hard in summer as he won't were a hat. I have tried making a game of it (doesn't work) have tried holding it on his head (doesn't work) and I have also tried putting it back on when he takes it off but even that doesn't work sometimes that just makes him angry and it ruins the rest of our outing. Has anyone else had the same problem? I really want him to wear a hat as summer gets so hot and he loves to be outdoors or at beach.Having a real hard time can anyone please help? ↓

My son is the same way, the only hat I can get him to wear is if I can tie it around his chin area. He forgets after a while and just goes on with whatever he is interested in at the time. They have been great for the winter mths! ↑
