[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 251140"] This has been a huge problem with difficult child. Even when he was inpatient and at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) they had to institute soap checks because he stunk and they knew he wasn't washing. I know one time he had to wash all of his clothes AND take a shower with a soap check because it was so bad. At home, I am able now to get him to take a shower 1 time per week. I do a smell check afterwards. For the most part he is doing a good job. Now, he doesn't do this unprompted. I have to tell him it is time for your shower and wait outside the bathroom door (which is always not all the way closed because he is scared to be in there by himself). I at one point threatened him with a soap check, but the knowing he has a smell check works. I have also got him Axe shampoo and body wash that he likes which helps. The bigger problem is brushing his teeth. Surprising enough, he had no cavities when we went to the dentist. [/QUOTE]
