[QUOTE="Otto von Bismark, post: 509712, member: 12905"] I hope things are better now. I understand needing a break. You are doing a good job not cracking up :hi5:. I have cracked up over less! My son's school has a "club" for non-bathers, where they teach them all the steps. They believe in some cases there is a processing problem mixed with sensory issue. So you get a pre-teen or teenager with hormones starting to burble around in them, and a desire to bathe by themselves, but 400 steps to taking a proper bath or shower. If we think about it, there is a lot to do during a shower, while ignoring the water coming down in eyes and ears, proper water temperature, not slipping, not dropping stuff, plus all the proper steps....step [B]out [/B]of water flow, pick up the shampoo, take off lid, pour proper amount in hand, then in hair, then....etc, you know.... When they are little we do it for them, but when they get older and may still need help with steps, we often forget what an involved process the shower is. Maybe a new house rule -- no one comes to supper table dirty. Family shows up to table with body and hair clean. If she is hungry, she will bathe? Also little bit of kudos about how nummy she is when she is clean...nuzzle, hugs, atta-girls, etc... Dunno, just being creative. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
