  • We haven't had the problems like you are having.  However, my son will refuse sometimes and scream and run through the house.  What I have found that helps is he is obsessed with Netflex movies.  He has certain shows he loves to watch.  I tell him if he takes a bath then he can get on Neflex.  It works about 90% of the time.  He doesn't like his hair washed though.  So most of the time I just use a wet wash cloth to wash his hair, so I am not dumping any water down his face.
