Steps

  1. Encourage your toddler: Tell your toddler that if they takes a shower you'll give them a cookie, toy, treat, etc.
  2. Make it look like a bubble bath: Use the same bubble bath as you did before. Or give them their special toy they use to play with in the tub.
  3. Sing: If you have a good voice sing him into the shower. just like Marry Poppins sang Micheal and Jane to bed.
  4. Give them a towel: If your toddler is afraid to get water in his her eyes use a towel to hide his eyes away from the water.
  5. Be nice: Don't scream or shove them into the shower that will make them think the shower is a punishment. Talk nicely for example: "Honey, come on, the shower is a wonderful place. It's like going out in the rain and jumping into puddles. if you jump you will slip, but the bright side is you don't have to wear a hat or carry an umbrella."
  6. Clean them: After you got him her into the shower clean them. Make sure to give him a towel so the soap doesn't burn the eyes. Remember to clean behind the ears!
