[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 221193"] I haven't read all of the responses (skimmed though...attention span of a gnat tonight). I wash my hands a lot. I started probably about Duckie's age. I have never counted or anything like that. I just can't stand for my hands to feel the least bit sticky or dirty. I've never ever liked that feeling. After learning about Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues, I think for me that's what it is. I tend to have dry skin, too, and have a hard time with lotions because they feel too greasy. When I use them, I use very little and wipe the excess off right away. For a few winters, my hands would crack open and I would put eucerin (sp?) on my hands at night and I could hardly stand it. Then I found that my moisturizer for sensitive skin worked better and it's not greasy. Rambling again....sorry. She's been sick a lot. Is it possible that she's made the connection between washing her hands and helping to keep from getting sick? I think with flu season the teachers probably bring it up. Maybe she's just more cognizant of it since she seems to get sick more easy and she's sick of getting sick. Or maybe she's just weird like me and can't stand for her hands to feel the least bit sticky or dirty or anything. I have to go wash my hands now.... [/QUOTE]
