Do an activity with him that satisfies his curiosity, then explain the cost and appropriateness of wasting soap.

Whether it's a knife or mommy's high heel shoes, the children know that I'll let them use it if they ask. I'll supervise. NBD.

The world's a strange place. Why does this liquid bubble, when milk doesn't? Man, water doesn't either, but you need water to make the bubbles? What is that about, Mom?

Are you kidding?  A smack on his hand and a stern. "NO.  DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN."  "From now on, you will use bar soap only."  follow through and put bar soap put.  Four year olds are not the boss.[/quote]

Wow! And I thought I had control issues...

Power assertion much? How's that working out for you?

NP here with a HAHAHAHAHA! Parents are supposed to assert their power, that's why they're the parents, and responses like this are why so many of you have ghastly children. The child is four, and needs to do what he's told.

"How do I get my 4 year old to stop dumping soap?" Can you really not manage this?!
