How to check your Childs HEAD SHAPE (checking head symmetry for PLAGIOCEPHALY)

So in the last few months, I have had a concerning number of parents bringing their children in with quite pronounced head asymmetry present.
And this can be tricky to check! Some kids have a mop of hair that is difficult to see through!
SO here's a short video explaining the things to look out for, points the check, as well as a few reasons why you SHOULD be regularly checking your kids head!
