What tricks do you have to use to get your kids to drink water?

[MamaMoopsie]

My kids aren't too bad about it. Once in a while my 3 year old will get really upset when I say it's time to have water instead of milk or juice. One thing that works for me is to tell her we can put ice in her cup. I don't know why it works, but if she's upset about drinking water this is usually what makes it all better. I will still also water down juice to get them that extra little bit of water throughout the day.

I hate drinking water non-stop. However being pregnant I'm doing my best to drink more. On average I will have two or three 8 oz glasses a day pluse a couple bottles of water. I use those little drink flavor things, the little powder packets for individual bottles to make it more palatable. Now my 3 year old wants me to do the same for her. Think there's any harm in it? I've looked at the ingredient list and don't see anything to cause alarm.

If i drink more water she drinks more water. kids follow your lead so if you do it they will do it too they might putup a fight at first but stick to it and they will ask for it instead  atleast my kiddo does shes 4

None. They drink it or go thirsty. After dinner they only get water.

No tricks, I just tell them to drink water and they do. They also eat their vegetables :)
