[quote=Anonymous]What if instead of yelling, you send him up for a shower as soon as you get home, and you start on dinner. Matter of fact "when you've showered, you can come down and eat." If he comes down to eat without having showered, then "you have to shower before you can eat dinner." If he doesn't shower, he doesn't eat dinner. In my house, that would be a motivator, so not something I'd need to fight about. My kids would only skip dinner a few times before deciding they could handle showering. One of my kids does have sensory issues and the feeling of clothing after a shower is a big deterrent. We arrange showers so he can air dry. For him, he eats dinner, showers, does his homework in his room while he's drying off. You mention he likes swimming. If there's a way to arrange your schedule so that you take him swimming a couple times a week and make him rinse off before swimming, and shower afterwards, that might be all you need to do at least for now.[/quote]
