[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 286751, member: 1233"] If you make him go and use a clorox wipe to SCRUB each side of the hallway walls and any other things he touches and do this EVERY SINGLE TIME he goes to the john I would bet that in about a week he will figure out it is too hard and time consuming to go do that scrubbing, as well as going back to wash his hands before he starts (because you don't want to dirty where you just cleaned) AND after he finished (because he was handling those dirty cloths and the cleaner in them). You will have to INSIST. And if you find he ran outside with-o washing and you didn't catch him, make him come in and wash it again anyway. If peer pressure will work by him getting embarrassed by the signs, wait until a kid asks him why he had to be called home to clean where he ran his dirty hands on the wall. I would not go out of the way to tell another child that difficult child has to go home to wash where he ran his poop-germy hands all over the wall because he didn't want to wash his hands. I also would not go out of the way to hide it. If he pushes you with "WHy do I have to?" then you can tell him what he did. Not your fault if he pushes that discussion in front of a friend. And if he DID run out of the house or into his room or wherever? Then he has even MORE to clean - those hallways, the doors and doorknobs he might have touched, the things in his room he touched, whatever. I have one who must touch everything. If we are walking down an aisle at the store he runs his hands down it. Drives me nuts. We had a bit of the dirty hands being run down the walls. Once I showed it to him, and let him know I would turn off the tv, or take his book until it was done, it took me about a week to deal with the no handwashing in the bathroom. I would also insist he take out the trash that he put the cleaning cloths in. [/QUOTE]
