Head Lice, Shame & School Kids: The Facts Parents Actually Need

Head Lice, Shame & School Kids: The Facts Parents Actually Need

Head lice. Nits. Luizen.

If your child has ever come home scratching their head, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, Eva shares a very real parenting story , breaks down the facts about how lice actually spread, and tackles the shame and silence that often surround infestations.

You’ll learn:

  • How head lice really spread (and what doesn’t cause them)

  • Why hygiene has nothing to do with it

  • Why lice are common in schools and even high schools

  • What treatments actually work (and what doesn’t)

  • How community responsibility helps stop outbreaks

Humorous, factual, supportive—and stigma-free. Because lice are common. Parenting shame shouldn’t be.
