Nope, sorry. I have a 9 year old boy. He doesn't refuse to shower, but he refuses to wear socks on a regular basis, so kinda the same thing.
Hygiene is not optional in my home. Self care is extremely important. That device providing the YouTube would be GONE so fast until the hygiene issue was resolved. No WiFi password helps too!
I actually made an example with my oldest child when I didn’t like his device behavior and I took the phone out of his hands immediately and smashed it with a hammer. Now my kids know I mean business. The phone was a hand me down cheapie that we were replacing anyway but none of the kids know that. We gave him two weeks to improve the disrespectful behavior and earn a new phone. Guess what now all it takes is one warning about me grabbing the device and smashing it and my kids are in shape again.

Nope. But if I did, watching youtube would not be an option for a very long time, lol Everytime he complained about homework and taking a shower that time would be extended for 2 weeks.....each time.
