[QUOTE="chimingin, post: 729687, member: 19412"] My first thought is: what does she want? You say that she is digging her heels in. For what, tho? To be left alone in her room? To play on her iPad all day? To watch TV? What is she doing with her time? She doesn't want to be forced to shower or go to school. So what is it she wants to do instead? Here is an idea: get a white board. List the days of the week and time slots. List the requirements and list activities she enjoys. Ask her how she'd like to fit those things in to the schedule. Let her have total control over the days/times she would like to shower and homework time, etc. She is clear about what she doesn't like. So let her explain what an ideal schedule looks like. Put her in charge. Just an idea. [/QUOTE]
