[quote=Anonymous]I am a slow riser in the morning and it's really hard for me to shower in the morning. If I get in the shower when I'm still sleepy it will also take 3x longer because I zone out and forget what I'm doing. I have to keep things pretty simple in the morning because I don't really zone in until 9:30 or 10am.

If her hair is a stressor then showering at night and then using a spray bottle to rewet and then "do" her hair could seriously cut down on morning time. Also exploring products that might make her hair more manageable. I get you are low maintenance about your appearance but she's not you. She's also 9 and just started a new school year -- you are entering the years where girls become very aware of their appearance and often highly critical of each otehr and themselves. Finding ways to help her feel confident about her appearance will help a lot and are worth the effort even if it's not really your thing. She doesn't need to spend an hour getting ready -- she just needs a good routine that creates a consistent appearance she can feel good about.

Also if this is how she's responding to her hair looking wrong then please prepare yourself for when she starts getting pimples and maybe get to a derm at the first sign. [/quote]
