Just wanted to drop a note and say thanks! I am not a parent but I do work in a local LBS and every few days I get parents in shopping for helmets for their little kids. Usually, the youngins don't want the helmet anywhere near there head. After reading this thread I know had been able to give the parents some ideas on how to make it easier to get the children to wear their helmets. Thank you for all the great ideas and tips!

I like mimi's game!
You could extend it by issuing treats in short intervals, like every 5 or 10seconds, or just take a little bit longer every time you present the treat.
Be sure to up the ante for some of the easy things to wear--or else the propaganda factor might just be too blatant.
You could also have the kids put weird stuff on their heads too--like a bucket or a pillow or a pot, just to see how funny they can be and how different the world sounds.
I also want to encourage you to let her try new helmets at the store. Maybe the old one just hurts or is the wrong shape or something.
