Fear baths

Some children, for various reasons, have a real fear of the bathtub. But, whatever caused this fear, you need to take this very seriously.


If the child is afraid, there is no need to force it - you only fasten a fear of baths and then it will be even harder to deal with it. The child has no fear of baths, it is necessary gradually to accustom.




To do this, we need to be patient and wait time.




To successfully overcome the child's fear must first be created in a private comfortable setting. To do this, make sure that the bathroom was warm - children don't like feeling cold. You can also papered the walls of the bathroom and the bath bright pictures and special applications for the bathroom.




To gradually teach your baby to swim in a new environment, you can put his usual little bath in the big tub and try to redeem it that way. Of course, you need to give him the usual toys, which he often plays, or Vice versa, to try to inspire new, so it was fun to swim and play with them. Also, to attract the attention of the child can be "revealing bathing" dolls or other toys. But do not sprinkle water on the child - children often don't like, even though they love to splash about.




Another important point is that children are afraid of the slippery surface of the bath. So before bathing must cover the bottom of the bath towel or attach a special Mat for bath on suckers.




Often good results are obtained by swimming together. If you swim with your child, then he will be easier to swim alone. But, you may need more than one joint bathing, so you should be patient.




You should not bathe the baby immediately after eating - this will cause discomfort and may cause regurgitation, which will also add negative emotions associated with bathing. You also need to ensure that the water was comfortable and familiar to the child's temperature.




It is very important to ensure that in the area of access was not dangerous for the baby items. The bath edge or available at the height of the shelves should be free from potentially dangerous items, such as razor or soap. You also need to ensure that the child is not hurt and did not get burned on the faucet in the bathroom. For this you can use a special protective lining. When switched off the water, it is best to first turn off hot and then cold, so baby don't accidentally burned the last drops remaining in the faucet.




Of course, standing in advance to prepare everything for bathing, including trivia, so you do not have to distract from bathing. If you forgot something, that in no event it is impossible to leave the child alone in the bathtub. Then it would be better to wrap the baby in a towel with a hood and go for a forgotten thing with him.




When bathing is complete, do not immediately open the stopper and flush. Going into the drain hole water sometimes makes different sounds that can scare the kid. The older child may be afraid that the water will carry it.
