hygiene

My six year old, use to love his bath. Now I find it’s very difficult to get him to have one. I manage to wash his hair once or twice a week. Any advice? He won’t get undressed either for bed so unless his clothes are wet he will sleep in them. Sometimes he won’t even change the next day. Again any advice?

  • My son has gone through phases regarding washing but sometimes prefers a shower or the shower attachment used, due to the feeling of pressure from the water. Not sure if that is an option?

  • Thank you, he doesn’t to like the shower.  The only way seems to be if we can wash his hair with a jug and get his body wet at the same time. It’s just this happens once or twice a week, he used to bath almost every day. I guess he is getting clean, if he reality needs a wash he will have a strip wash. I just wanted to know that  it’s ok not to have baths or showers in the usual way. It seems like you can still get clean without them.
