That’s hard. My daughter is the same way right now and has been for a while. You could try putting music on or making a game out of it. I finally ended up having to wash her in our kitchen sink again as she refused to get in at all

Have you got a shower my little one started getting fed up with a bath so I tried the shower and she loves it, she saw us showering so I think she wanted to be like us, and she has asked to come in when we’re showering too x

oh god I wish I could try that but my sink ain’t big enough it’s so stressful ain’t it

Yes, very. Could you try to play him on the counter to just wash his hair? Maybe separating the hair wash will help?

I tried with shower but he won’t even come near it it’s like he has a fear of water I don’t know why nothings happened for him to be afraid

We have this with my son too. He’s had a few phases of it off and on. We try buying new toys to excite him into the bath, bath crayons worked well. But still an ongoing process, he really doesn’t like it so sometimes we do a cloth wash instead. It’s very common apparently, but is so hard when you know they really need it and won’t! Try offering other ways of washing to give a choice, that works for us and some nights just accepting it’s a no for now!

ooo bath crayons is a good idea x
