[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 87971, member: 4133"] Hello crzymomof4! I'm sorry I don't have any ideas on the hair...I think there were a few good suggestions in an earlier post though. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone at all! My difficult child has to be in constant battle over EVERYTHING.....she lives off of the negative, enjoys tense reactions & will not accept "gentle" guidance very often. She would prefer to NEVER take a bath or brush her teeth (we still do this for her because she has some sort of disease that basically eats/discolors her teeth no matter how much brushing goes on~her top 4 teeth have been fake for years, we bathe her the best we can, trying to avoid her flooding the bathroom). Her Psychiatrist explained to us that she thrives off of everything being the "opposite/negative" (that explains the ODD)....almost like an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) person, but her "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)" is what I call DESTRUCTION!LOL! If you open it, she closes it....if you straighten it up, she messes it up....you get the picture. Her eating habits are awful....messy, wipes everything on her clothes, reminds me of a baby in a highchair. Her hair is a mess all of the time from all of the food she gets in it, the constant "tightening" of the ponytail or the tossing & turning she does all night long.
