| My 4 year old is refusing to drink water.. She will drink only for the last 4 days... I have been trying everything i can think of to get her to drink the water i give her but she just spits it out!! How can i get her to drink water willingly again?? I cant keep giving her juice its to sugary.. |

| I would stop giving her juice altogether and keep offering the water. When she's truly thirsty, she'll drink the water. |

| We give Erin "water juice", which is either straight up water or water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. Either way, it works. You can fool some of the people some of the time! |

| maybe give 4oz. of juice mixed with 4oz. of water (totally water down the juice) |

| I agree and then I'd slowly decrease the juice and up the water until there is only a hint of flavor to the water. Good luck! |
