[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 476879, member: 1550"] My suggestion: Whatever shampoo is on sale for a dollar...lol. I'm serious too. Ok, well, Sonic always got so sensitive to criticism (even when it wasn't criticism or scolding...if you get my meaning) that he would cry, slam his bedroom door and we could hear him talking to himself between sobs "I am so stupid" "Why do I do such stupid things" "I'm an idiot" etc. I really believe that our differently wired kids are less resilient to scolding and I have learned not to scold. Yes, he is eighteen and will still do this so we don't scold. We talk. "Hey,pal, that cost a lot of money, so can you please try to use just a little?" I figure it will work as well as "You can't do that" and it won't cause him to go into a long, rambling monologue about how stupid he is, which disturbs me. This is NOT necessarily a negative. I get along famously with Sonic, PastryChef and Jumper, especially the girls, even though they were not born to me. They did pick up many of our values, however they are their own unique people who do not share our DNA. Another thing you can do to avoid The Big Shampoo Battle is to put a little bit of shampoo into the cap and put the rest of the bottom up high. That way, if he throws it into the tub, it's not wasting much. Heh, you are lucky that he will let you wash his hair at all. Sonic had sensitivites to baths and shampoos,w hich still exist. At J's age, we shaved Sonic's head, w hich he liked very much: "I look like Michael Jordan!" who was a big shot basketball player in the United States. I STRONGLY believe, after all our adopting, that our adopted kids are more like their birthparents than us and that they can adapt to our environment, but that DNA pretty much trumps all. If you were in an adoptive parent group, I believe you'd hear this a lot from other parents. Somebody in his genepool was probably a lot like he is. [/QUOTE]
