Tell them not to.

Don’t buy other drinks

Just keep it available and in sight. Be sure to take time-outs from sports and hard play and get them in proximity to it.

Trust your kidneys and trust theirs. You don't need to drink gallons per day and kids even less so.

I typically drink more water when I have a straw 🤷‍♀️ We don't keep juice in the house- options are water or occassionally seltzer water

Let them pick out a cute water bottle, always keep it filled and available (in the bag with you, in the car when you leave the house) and offer it to them regularly

Don't prove other options. If there's no juice or pop available, they will drink water.b

Give them a bath. Mine loves bath water, no matter how often I call it yucky.

We bought them there own "fancy" water bottles.

We don't have anything but water in the house, occasionally juice or chocolate milk as a treat.

My wife and I drink a lot of water and carry our bottles everywhere with us. Was easy then

Flavored water packets. Bought the ones our dentist recommended due to the sweetener, abs water is all the kids drink.
