How do you get your kids to drink water.?
My daughter is 11 in the 5th grade and she had me buy her a water bottle specifically for school but she doesn’t drink the water. I message her teacher and make sure she tells my daughter to drink her water but my daughter says her teacher never says anything to her.
What can I do.? Advice please

@Nata she loves fruit
Girl I got you, as a former nanny I know so many tricks; Add a splash of fruit-infused water (lemon, strawberry, cucumber, or mint). Get those sugar-free water flavor drops (just a tiny bit can make a difference). Let her “design her own water recipe.” (Look up the tag watertok on tiktok. It’s shocking but a it’s step into having them stay hydrated. Obviously try a tamer version of what they do tho) Also! This may sound silly but it works: A bottle with cool designs, a flip straw, or a chug top can make a HUGE difference. Let her decorate it with stickers, her name, doodles, etc. Or one with lines for time markers (“Drink to here by 10AM”).
