[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 235612, member: 6546"] MW--It's my [I]daughter[/I] that gives me the trouble...and I'm not sure about sensory issues. I am not aware of any at this time. Right now, we use daily reminders. As in "[I]Time for toilet and teeth[/I]." She will dutifully go into the bathroom...but not always dutifully brush her teeth. So we often have to follow up with "[I]Did you brush your teeth[/I]?". And the answer is, invariably, [I]Yes.[/I] And it is the same with showering and using deoderant. However, we still notice unmistakeable odors that betray the fact that she is either NOT doing the task at all...or is doing it very poorly. At which point we send her right back into the bathroom. I feel that she is a little too old for me to actually supervise her in the bath or shower--so I am trusting her to do a good job. However, she will sometimes come out with statements that make me wonder... DS is now 10...and getting to that age where he needs to be concerned with B.O. as well...and so we got him a Men's Grooming Kit and deoderant and 'manly' shower gel--the whole nine yards. So that first night, he took a shower, came out of the bathroom all done up and smelling good and proudly announced that he had put on the deoderant after he showered. To which difficult child looked shocked and said "[I]I didn't know you were supposed to put on deoderant after a shower!!".[/I] [I]{{Sigh...}}[/I] :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
