When it comes to showering or even brushing her teeth, she would either take her shower very very late or forgets about brushing her teeth! I had to chase and remind her almost all the time! I really don't know what to do with her now as recently, I have also blew my top more often because of these. Tell me what I should do parents, I am at my end wits. :stupid:

Hi there, I had the same trouble with my 4-year-old son when it comes to brushing his teeth and getting him to bathe.

At such a young age, I would think he's just starting to have a mind of his own so I try my best not to lose patience when he resists listening to me.

Then, I adopted to showing him the 'consequences' of NOT following my instructions. Like my husband had a bad tooth extracted so I showed him the extracted tooth with a big black hole.. I saw great horror on his face as I explained the reason of the black hole, not brushing his teeth before meals, in the morning and night etc. haha. And I took a foul-smelling t-shirt soak in prespiration for him to smell and explain that's what a person would smell like if he/she doesn't bathe for long.

This method works really well for me, at least for now. So every morning, the first thing he does is brush his teeth and he hardly resist a bath/shower ever again.

Just a suggestion.. then again, I'm dealing with a kid much younger.. do hope u share what works when u see a change in your daughter!
