Try assuming it's an allergic reaction to the shampoo. Avalon scalp treatment is what I use, and it prevents the dandruff reaction. Shampooing with it every day is the solution that worked for me.
A quick fix: egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt anf some lemon juice. Mix and put it on the scalp like a mask. Leave for a half hour, and rinse with cool water. It will stop the reaction that causes dandruff, but only until he next shampoo - assuming it's an allergic reaction.

If it's stuff to the scalp, it's most likely not dandruff but ecxema. You have to find out what the kid is allergic to and then take it out of their diet. That will usually make it better, but it will probably stay there. THere's not much you can do. But, scrubbing does make it worse.
See your doctor and see what they say,

If this is a very young child and the scalp is not just flaking but has big scaly patches, it's probably cradle cap. Apply slightly warmed olive oil (if you have no olive oil, baby oil or salad oil will do), let soak in for 20 minutes to an hour or more, gently scrub the scaly patches with a nail brush, and shampoo. Repeat every few days or as often as necessary to keep the condition under control.

If the child is older you can try rotating shampoos. Once day head and shoulders, one day t-sal, one day selsun blue. Let the shampoo sit on the scalp for 5-10 minutes and then wash off. It takes a few weeks to see an improvement. I have actually heard of people using selsun blue for babies that have cradle cap at the advice of their doctors (I wouldn't suggest that unless you ask a doctor though).

Maybe take your kid to a dermatologist. I had dandruff that wouldn't wuit, tried every dandruff product out there. I went to skin dr he told me is psoriasis. He gave me a foam cream to smear on scalp daily. Works wonders.
