One convenient way to get a shower is going to the gym or a swimming pool. Showering after working out. playing sports, or swimming is almost a given. This way, the teenage boys won't have a choice but to take a shower, preferably with soap and shampoo. And they'll get some exercise as an added bonus. Should they be uncomfortable using a public locker room, there's nothing wrong with keeping the swim trunks on while showering, and then wrapping a towel around the waist while changing into their underwear.

My 12 year old AS son hates showers - is terrified of them
He was able to explain to us that a shower feels like hot needles and it sounds like screeching, so, he has a bath instead. He and we are a lot happier, takes longer but less stressful for us all.
His twin sister (also AS) loves the shower and regularly uses all the hot water - :lol:


My son still does the bath thing too. The shower scares him. As long as he gets cleaned, its good with me.
