Washing Hands after Using the Washroom
Question
My 14 year old daughter does not want wash hands after bathroom. What should I do?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question!
I understand your frustration, but it is important to understand that Chinuch is about teaching our children how to keep the mitzvot, Halachot and to get them used to doing so, if when the child like in your case does not keep a specific halacha the best would be to not mention anything about it, since by doing so may put the child under pressure and may trigger even more rebellion
So, you know that you did what you needed to do, and now it's the child's decision.
