The best $1.99 I ever spent, or how I convinced my daughter to wash herself in the bath


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
