[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: 
-Yes I agree it's a parenting issue, I guess I was looking for support and advice on how to handle this
-She eats almost no processed sugar or carbs  - we mostly cook from scratch and eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day
-She does have a weak immune system, especially a weak respiratory system, that's always been the case. During good times she does fine, but we moved here from overseas last year so I think she's catching all the bugs here before she rebuilds her immunity

Question: any advice on the words I can use to get her to understand the issue and to listen to me better, with less conflict? (Before I get flamed for being a pushover - I'm not a pushover and my kids are quite reasonable in general. I'm just having a hard time dealing with this particular issue, that's why I'm here.)

In this season, perhaps it's not colds but allergies, OP.
She needs to see an allergist. 
Coughing could be mild symptoms of asthma. My son with asthma starts to cough in April when the tree pollen comes.
We start getting cold symptoms every April, and it's always a bit tricky to tell at first whether it's a virus or allergies - often it's both at first, especially in the colder days of April. 
Then as the pollen count starts getting really high, it's clear that it's allergies, and we use nasal sprays and eye drops, and my son has his inhaler.
