There are kids who refuse to take shower. Some of them have reasons like.. just later until they forget it, or they would choose to just wash using face cloth. What you usually do with them Oh!! my friend has this problem. How did you deal with this if you have one like this?

When boys reach a certain age they seem to develop an aversion to soap and water. When my boys developed this aversion I let them know that they weren't eating at my table or sleeping on my sheets or the bed. They could sleep on the floor or take a bath and sleep on the bed. Take a bath or eat away from the rest of the family. They soon decided they liked to take bathes and be clean.

my sis also face the same problem, when her son does it she say that you are not looking good, i think you should take a bath . and if he take bath then she appriciate and say now you look like a hero and give him kiss. children get impressed by some tv or movie charatcter and try to immitate them. So when it come to bathing she dont say that take bath, but she will say that "X"(power rangers) take bath regularlly and that why he look cool. he eats green vegetable that why he is strong and so on after some time they get habituted of taking bath. and some time we need to take harsh steps like if you want this you have to listen to me. (beware if you have promised to give some thing then you should complete it) enjoy :)

Not to sound harsh on this one but I think they have a couple of actions. 1. they can force the shower issue by physically placing them in the shower or they can do what my friends dad did in high school.. A cold bucket of "SOAPY" water in the middle of the night while they were in bed. Go the point accross and forces them to change clothes dry off and even rinse off in the shower. It only took a couple of times and the issue was resolved

I don't have any children, but I do have two little brothers. When the youngest was about 6 years old he usually didn't want to take a bath. The way that we dedalt with it was to try and make baithing fun and interesting for him. We would buy him bath toys and let him play with them in the tub, We would fill the tub with bubbles to make it look fun, and we would buy different shapes and colors of soap...we pretty much just go creative in try to make bathing seem fun.
