How do you teach a child to like/drink water?

[Guest guest]

My boys have drank welch's white grape juice since we started this diet a year

ago. I feel it may have been feeding yeast and have tried to switch them over

to fresh juiced granny smith apple/lemon juice. Well this juice causes some

diarrhea. I have also tried them with steamed pear juice water. They don't

really like this. What I would love to do is get them to start drinking more

straight water which they do not do at all. How do you get a child to learn to

drink water? I fear that if they go on a drink strike, they will get

dehydrated. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

If you mix sparkling water with a very small amount of juice, it tastes like an

italian soda. You could try this and if you then need to go 100% water, they

are only one step away & would be more likely to enjoy the water.

What I would try is very very slowly keep diluting their juice more and more

until they are drinking water - increase the water in very tiny amounts - like

maybe a week at a time.
