[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 616838, member: 3419"] Confused, I like your idea of claiming the pets as yours. Have a family meeting and give the kids one week to shape up. If they don't take care of the pets in that time, then they become yours. Period. Let them scream and cry. (The kids, not the pets. :) ) I agree, your daughter does sound like she's on the spectrum. I would take her to a pediatrician appointment, but only after you have talked to him about her possibly being on the spectrum and having anxiety issues, in addition to not bathing and other things. (Actually, I think bathing IS an anxiety issue, as well as transition.) My son didn't start showering with-o my nagging him until he got a girlfriend. :) And now we're battling dental issues. I think that once you get her on something for anxiety, it will help a lot. In the meantime, I don't know how you get her to do thing ... I just take away things when my son doesn't cooperate. It worked when he was little but it took me forever to figure out what he valued. Sounds mean but hey, they've got to learn life skills. Then, of course, you give her a reward. Take her to the store and let her pick out a special scent for shampoo or something so she feels empowered. [/QUOTE]
