Bathing can be scary for many toddlers. Here, we walk through steps to take to tackle this fear.
Being in the bath is a strange sensory experience for babies and toddlers. They may feel worried by new sensations such as the abrupt change in temperature or the odd feeling of suddenly being able to float. Sounds like the gush of water out of the taps or the gurgle of water draining down the plughole can frighten little ones, as can the confusion of where the plughole leads.
Young kids do not grasp spatial logic well and may fear that they will be sucked down along with the water. Slipping under the water is also a common fear among toddlers. The feeling of getting hair washed or the sting of soap or water in their eyes may be distressing as well. Let's look at how to address these worries.
