[QUOTE="lizinmd, post: 42356, member: 3727"] Thought I'd add my 2 cents ... my difficult child is very into routine so we called it "getting spiffy" and taught him the steps (teeth, face washed, deodorant, hair combed) and he does pretty well. He knows what "get spiffy" means and it was a fun way to teach it. We joked around alot when learning it. About showering ... try a little peer pressure if you can. easy child older sister spent time explaining that girls like the boys in school who shower everyday the best. This worked but did take more than a little convincing to overcome his resistance. I let him choose his body wash and shampoo too ... short haircuts are practical too. But to tell the truth both my easy child DDs went thru a phase of not showering around age 9 ... I think that is one of those relatively normal behaviors that we can't tell apart from the other junk!! [/QUOTE]
