[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 42961"] My difficult child goes in streaks. Depending on his mood and if he has any friends at the time. If the friends are girls, I notice he will shower every morning and brush his teeth. He does brush his teeth and wash his face every morning. I have one rule that I will not allow to be broken. difficult child is 12, and chooses to have long hair. (touches his shoulders) If he wants his hair long, it must be clean. That means washed every other day for the least. if he cannot keep his hair clean, we will cut it off. His bangs are just to his eyes and tapered around his face, but I can put little pigtails in when I am in a "I wish I had a girl mood". I don't tell him that. But I like to see what I can do. Luckily I don't have any girls because I really don't do a very good job with his hair. I worked with someone years ago, a male, who just smelled so bad nobody could stand to be near him. Management had to tell him to wash up because he smelled. Our office complex had a fitness center with showers. He would work out and shower, come back with wet hair, but still smelled. Turned out it was a medical issue and had to do with some things he ate. My easy child smells. He showers, but his feet just stink up the whole room. We finally told him he had to do something. Look into some powder, or odor eaters, buy new shoes....anything. He is better. He lost a lot of weight so maybe that helped too. [/QUOTE]
