Every day, your high school son takes a shower. Most days, he takes two or three showers. He takes a shower in the morning before school, a shower after gym class, and a shower before dinner. At first, you think that this is a good thing until you begin to notice that his showers have become obsessive. In fact, you see marks on his skin from washing too much and scrubbing too hard.

He starts to cry and runs in the bathroom to take another shower. You’re furious. You know this is untrue. Your son does not have bad body odor. Whenever you’re around him, he always smells fresh and clean. The problem is he doesn't believe it because he is convinced he has a body odor issue. So, the question is . . . How do you convince him that he does not?
