[quote=Anonymous]DD just turned 9 and still requires some assistance to properly shower.  Specifically her issues are hair washing and amount of product used.

She’s been showering without me in the bathroom since about 6 or 7.  We started working on hair washing but she’s not following through.

Either she’ll come out and clearly just partially wet her hair or she won’t rinse the soap out and her scalp will be flakey and itchy.

And with the products (body wash, shower gel, conditioner, shampoo) I swear she’ll just pour it into the bathtub.  So wasteful.

We usually buy her the cheapest options because of this but for Christmas & Birthday she wanted nicer items so to see her waste a $16 bottle of nice shower gel kills me.

I know this is a small complaint.  She’s generally very mature and helpful.

Is your 9-year-old able to complete these tasks?  Am I expecting too much?  I just don’t think I should still need to go in and wash her hair for her or micromanage her soap use after telling her numerous times over the past year how to get it done. [/quote]
