Good point N2L - just another option to try. We have star chart for DSD and don't use it all the time but it helps for short periods here and there to build the 'habit'. Obviously the reward can't be there forever but it may change the dynamic to dd feeling/remembering she wants to do it. Yes it's something she should do anyway but everyone needs external motivators sometimes I think
Either way. Just a thought. Pros and cons whichever way you deal with the situation. I've done the reward and done the take things away and done the discussion - all have merit. It's just choosing which suits the situation at the time.
If you're persisting with the bath, I'd try to figure out with her why she's not doing it and then get her to come up with some ideas for how to make sure she does it. So if she's forgetting, she might find a reminder sign helpful, for eg. It becomes her solution then, and she's more likely to actually do it.
The consequence, as you can discuss with her, for still not doing it, could be something like showers.
