[QUOTE="Andy, post: 221147, member: 5096"] My difficult child started this last Spring. He started counting as he washed his hands and I started to worry if this was something to be concerned over. I then found out that he just went through a health class where they were told that when you wash your hands, you should wash for atleast 10 - 20 seconds. So, he was counting the seconds. Relief! :) If she is washing appropriately, I don't think there is a problem. It is when she starts showing a ritual and redoing if something interrupts. I think you will know when it doesn't feel appropriate. When she starts washing her hands everytime she touches something - in other words she is at a sink more than she is anywhere else. Weird how we hope for a behavior such as handwashing and then when it happens, we wonder if it is right? [/QUOTE]
