how do you get a three year old to take shower/bath at night without fighting/running around the house/saying no.....its getting to be a huuuuge chore everynight....ive tried giving him a treat before, after, putting him in time out.....ahhhhhh!!!

I never had this problem, mine never wanted to get out. Have you tried toys or plastic cups spoons to play with? I have used bath foam in different colors. I never do bubbles Dr said that could cause an infection. Hope this helps.

They also have paints and crayons you can use in the tub. I would try to make it really fun for him.

Sorry I cannot help much since mine are still up because they won't go to bed. So I am interested in hearing some advice on this as well. I do the bedtime routine thing but I think that they have insomnia. They go to bed late wake up early and at the most have a 1 hour nap if that!

My children always liked baths when they were small. Do you have lots of bath toys?? Now getting my teenage ds (who can stink to high heaven) to shower is worse than when he was small. Good luck!

:D the past few days i started putting bubbles(just squirted his bath wash in, thnx for the advice on bubble bath happyme) gave him a few toys to tinker around with and its been going good. cross fingers....we will see how it goes after he spends the night at his dads....

We just make bath time lots of fun. Lots of toys, bubbles, etc. This has never really been a problem for us though. My son loves the water!
