[quote=Anonymous]Is this the only issue you have with this kid? If this is, you're a lucky parent, but your response to it ("screaming") has just upped the ante and leads me to wonder if your response to other things is similarly over the top. If so, this may be the only way she can feel some control. Kids leave clothes on the floor, drop their bath towels on the floor, or otherwise have messy rooms and bathrooms -- it's normal. It's not to say they should never pick them up, or be taught to pick them up, but back off a bit and perhaps it's once a week -- e.g., let all the kids know that Saturday morning is pick-up time. If she still refuses to do it, sit her down and calmly ask her what the problem is. Ask her if it seems overwhelming to start and perhaps the two of you can do it together this time, and next time she can do it herself.[/quote]
