Help your toddler enjoy taking a bath

Filed in archive Fun for the kids by Melissa Petri on May 24, 2006

It is normal for toddlers to have fears. It is part of their development, even if it seems irrational. One of the most common is the fear of bathinglinks. This needs more attention since you cannot really let your toddler go without a bath for a long time.

As soon as I have informed my son that we need to take a bath, I would immediately follow it up with a, "look for the toys which you might want to take with you while we take a bath". This would, somehow, distract him and his fears. I also make sure that I (or his father) do take a bath with him to ease his fears.

There are days when it seems easy and then, there are days when he would be screaming bloody murder.

To date, I have yet to give up looking for more useful distractions to help him overcome his fear. One good find for today, thanks to Baby Chic 101, is the Flo.

"Flo attaches easily to the bathtub faucet with a spring-activated grip that requires no assembly or special installation. When the water is turned on, it's diverted into a stream that extends up to 12 inches in front of the faucet, creating a gentle waterfall and making rinsing hair easy. The soft material on the front edge of Flo helps protect against injuries caused by bumping or scraping against the faucet. Parents can fill the bubble bath reservoir and let children dispense bubbles into the water by pressing the button on the front."

Seriously, I want one... for myself!
