My daughter is 5, but is the kind of kid who would rather have me do stuff for her than do things for herself. I was still washing her in the bath.I told her that, if she would wash herself in the bath, I would get her a bath pouf. I went to Target and got a pink one for $1.99. Then I let her look at it before bathtime. She not only washed herself with the pouf that night, she washed her hair! I still helped her wash her face and her back.Then her almost 3 year old brother (who is generally more interested in doing stuff for himself) got jealous. I told him that I would get him a pouf, but he has to wash himself- poufs are for people who wash themselves in the bath. Target didn't have the red one he wanted, but he picked out a green one. And now he's washing himself!The kids love their poufs, and I've managed to get my daughter to wash herself, which I've been trying to do for a long time. Just wanted to toot my own horn a bit, and share this for anybody who might find it helpful. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2IFYkqC
