[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 591486, member: 1550"] My opinion? She's only nine with many other more pressing issues. Natural consequences may work here. If she won't clean up, the other kids will notice and possibly point it out to her. I would not choose this to fight over at her age. My easy child did not care about how she looked at age nine. Yes, she would shower and brush her teeth, but that was about it. She's 16 now and not a hair is ever out of place. I would personally keep the focus on what the big picture is here and hope that once you know what's going on, other things will fall into place in due time. If you have a good sense of humor and your daughter gets embarassed, you can try what my friend did when her daughter refused to dress at all for school. She took her daughter to school in her PJ's and she wore her PJ's to school as well and did not comb her hair. Her daughter dressed from then on. The school personnel thought it was a riot. [/QUOTE]
