Some kids just don't like bath time. It doesn't matter what you do, they delay the point of getting in and they hate every minute they are in there.
But there are ways to solve the problem. If you can turn bath time into a more enjoyable activity you stand much more chance of not only getting through it with the minimum of fuss, you might actually have a problem getting them back out again.
So how exactly do you make bath time for your kids a better experience all round?
The key to success is to introduce educational toys into the bathroom which can help to take their minds off the fact that they really do need to have their hair washed. The bathroom can be the perfect place to start learning about the alphabet and numbers, for example - try buying some bath crayons to write on the tiles with. You can write some sums on the tiles before the kids get in the bath and see how many they know the answers to. Bath paints are a similar option to consider - you can write on anything (even skin!) so you can easily get them to have fun and be washing themselves at the same time.
For younger kids, the best bath toys are brightly colored ones they can use in the water. Wind-up bath toys are particularly popular and you can get a wide range of them for just a few dollars each. If you can teach your kids that bath time is something to be enjoyed rather than dreaded you will find you have a much easier time of it and have less battles to get through.
Involve the kids in your quest to buy some good bath toys as well. Ask them what they would like and listen to what they say, always making sure they bear in mind you can't afford to buy every single thing they find of course! In time you will have a nice collection of educational bath toys and plenty of things to ensure the kids will be looking forward to their bath each and every time.
