[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 517502, member: 6546"] Ah, Insane-- You are making the same mistake I also do - you are thinking [I]logically[/I]. The problem here is that difficult child rejects the notion of hygiene. So the thought of taking care of her mouth does not compute. She actually explained to us that she is not worried about her swollen gums, because IF she brushes her teeth, the swelling goes down - therefore, it's not a problem. And she's "trying to remember" to brush her teeth every morning... "Trying to remember" is her excuse for most things...but of course, MOM remembers - so Mom reminds, prompts, nags, leaves notes, makes charts, etc. Even the therapist is so fed up with the "trying to remember" story that SHE made some charts and things for difficult child. But until difficult child actually buys in to the concept that it is necessary to keep oneself clean - I don't think there's much anyone can do. [/QUOTE]
