[quote=Anonymous]"Take a shower." I had to say this like 40 different times tonight before she actually got in the shower. I know they say that if you are repeating yourself that much, your approach isn't working. And normally if I had to say it 2-3 times and she still didn't do it, I would go intervene. But I didn't want to. I'm tired. I want to say "go take a shower" and then she actually does it, without endless whining and negotiating. She's now in the shower happily humming to herself because she actually doesn't mind showering. She just hates being told to take a shower. It's exhausting. If anyone knows how to get your kid to take a shower without so much pushback, please let me know. This kid is harder to discipline than her siblings because she's more stubborn. If we try to take away screen time or other privileges, she just shrugs and says "ok." The more you push the harder she digs in her heels.[/quote]
