[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 591069, member: 16184"] She hasn't ever HAD this behavior. She doesn't even have accidents at night. She's never done that before. We have for most of her life only had one bathroom, this house which is on an army post has 2 full baths and one water closet down stairs. I have a full bathroom in my room and hers is on the hallway . The initial plan was to bathe my 3 year old in that bathroom that tk uses, he decided pretty much when we moved in he would rather use my potty and bath tub. So that bathroom was never supposed to be hers. I didn't choose for her to have a private bath. I didn't get a choice over the house that housing chose for us because of the number of children we have. I clean it regularly. It's across the hall from my laundry room so I see it quite regularly it hadn't really occurred to me that she has been closing the door even when she isn't in there. So quite honestly with no abnormal bathroom behavior I didn't check. Maybe to many people bathroom issues are part of their kids difficult child issues until last week it wasn't one of ours. I've started checking on the way to wake her up in the morning and on the way to tuck her in at night. Last night she didn't flush but it was obvious she had only used it one time. I had her flush and that was the end of it. What kind of charts? I was thinking of putting something up on her wall in front of the potty that said Use Wipe Flush Wash hands But admittedly that was about the only idea I had. She uses the bathroom by herself I haven't really seen a reason to change that Especially since she is the only girl and anywhere I go my 3 year old and 5 month old tend to follow. She has become sensitive to her privacy. And as she has dark hair on her legs though no other symptoms of puberty I am trying to be respectful of her as a person who is growing up. Other than the spanking which I have already addressed. Do you have any thoughts? Should I not be trying to let her groom herself? I can only go with what I know and I know at 8 I was allowed to tend to my needs on my own. I was also the baby and had much older siblings and lived in a all female house hold and we had absolutely no privacy really and I don't think that's healthy either. [/QUOTE]
