Making bath-time fun for the child who is afraid of getting wet in the bath tub:

Is it hard to get your child into the bathtub? Some children love their bath time while others are determined never to get wet no matter how muddy they are from playing outside or tangled their hair has become.

Tip:

A hooded character towel that your child has picked out by themselves may make all the difference during bath time. Also water crayons, boats and bubbles all make a bathtub a friendlier environment for a child. Here is a fun game to try: with your help, have your child, fill the bath tub with water, bubbles and boats for bathtub fun time. Remember to always check the water temperature before letting your child touch the bath water. You and your child can play in the bath water while fully clothed from the bathroom side of the tub. Before you know it your child will be ready to hop right in the tub for more fun. P.S. remember to take off his or her socks first. We have had many wet socks in our household from this game. At the end of bathtub fun time have your child’s hooded character towel waiting for the after bath dry off and cuddle time. This special one-on-one bathtub fun time and cuddle will strengthen your child’s ability to tackle difficult and fearful situations while also enhancing a trust bond between parent and child.

We would love to hear from you.
