[QUOTE="Fran, post: 42577, member: 3"] lizinmd,those are wonderful suggestions but for the vast majority of our difficult child's, it's not an issue of not knowing how but of not wanting to do it. My son was bathed everyday as his life and went into the shower happily enough until the time he figured out he had a choice. Puberty created the negativity and it lingers on. He thinks it's a waste of his valuable time to worry about hygiene or taking care of his body. I banned him from my house unless he came in a clean shirt. I can't control what he does but I can control what's happening in my house. I'm sure he puts it on a not so clean body. He is doing pretty well since he is working but he came fairly unshaven today. Ugh. I bit my tongue. It's his life. It's a basket C for me as long as he doesn't live with me. [/QUOTE]
