I am gettin a bit frustrated with my older dd12. She is (recently tested PG) a good kid and is doing great at initiating her own learning as well as more often than not tolerating the mundane. the one thing that is making me crazy is that she is quite a slob (to put it bluntly). I have to remind her to shower, brush her teeth, clean her room etc. I know that cleaning her room is common for kids at this age...but the teeth brushing, showering? I have left lists and notes and yet...nothing changes. Any suggestions? thoughts?
Many Americans (including me) shower daily, but I wonder if there is any research showing that doing so only once or twice a week causes problems. That's what people did before running water.
