[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 228553, member: 3647"] Donna, I do not take offense at all. I need to hear all of this, harsh or not! I don't know what the deal is with the shower. She used to take one every other day, no problems. Now she fights me. Short of dragging her into the shower myself, I can't think of a way to "make" her do it. This is one of those things where I just let natural consequences take over. Let some other kid tell her that she stinks; maybe then she will shower. I did the same thing in the late fall when she didn't want to wear her winter coat because she didn't like how the cuffs felt. Fine, kid. Freeze. I let her go in a sweatshirt. Well it was only a couple days and her teacher made a little coat (cut-out of construction paper) with a note on it to "remember to wear your coat" for her to stick on the fridge. Well she wore her coat every day since. Because it wasn't ME telling her to do it. I am definitely going to pick up "Manipulative Child" (by the way, Kataya, I read Penelope Leach back when I was pregnant with Copper, then again when I was pregnant with Tink, just as a refresher). Thanks for all the great ideas. I can do this! [/QUOTE]
