When you bathe her, be upbeat and business like. Don't baby talk her or try to comfort her too much, it will just "reward" her bad behavior. Try not to scold her, either. Look for those times when she is behaving, then praise her. Be extra careful about getting water in her ears or soap in her eyes. In time she will learn, at the very least, to tolerate a bath, and at best, to love a bath. |
