[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do everything for my 5 year old including bathing, brushing teeth and hair, and dressing him. He's not mature enough to do these things on his own. [/quote]

Have you tried? My 2 year old can wash herself and dress herself.  The 5 year old can pretty much everything as long ad she can reach things. I just remind and supervise. Maybe give him some control over his routines? [/quote]
Kid has 2 speeds slow and stop. Its easier for me to help him.[/quote]

My 6 year old is like that and it's super annoying. That said, when he WANTS something, he can easily dress/bathe etc. himself - he just doesn't feel like doing it so it's a battle -  so we try to turn it into a game or a race. E.g., they get 10 minutes of screen time in the morning before school but must be dressed with teeth brushed before they get it (neither kid gets screen time until both kids are ready so they motivate each other), we have timed showers to see how fast he can do them (I supervise to make sure he gets all his body parts) etc.  Wiping his own butt is the biggest battle because he's squeamish about it.

Back on topic, I think all young kids, especially 4-8 year old boys, are weird! [/quote]
