If your child is definitely not a child who feels like a fish in water in the bathtub, here are some tips from Embelleze Portugal so that bath time becomes not an obligation, but a super fun family moment, full of complicity and where the necessary safety precautions are not lacking. After all, we are talking about children, these beings as cute as they are fragile!
1 - Make security a priority
A fun bath is, above all, a safe bath. Therefore, keep all types of electrical appliances away from contact with water (dryer, heater...), always place a non-slip mat at the bottom of the bath or shower and avoid using accessories (earrings, rings, watches... .) during the bath time, so as not to accidentally hurt the little ones.
2 - Drive away the fear of water
Always fill the bathtub with cold water first and only then season it with hot water, to prevent the curiosity of the little ones from causing unwanted burns and trauma. From there, keep the water at a pleasant temperature for the little ones' skin (more sensitive than adults' skin) and let the bathing adventure begin.
3 - Prepare a fun bath spot
Children are not fans of monotony. Therefore, provide decorations, toys and games (rubber ducks, watering cans, boats, sponges in the shape of animals, astronauts, plasticized books, princesses and submarines) that make the bath ritual a magical moment that is worth repeating daily without doing tantrums!
4 - Choose products specifically designed for children
Like the skin, children's hair is also more delicate than adult hair. Therefore, choose products without Parabens, Petrolatums, Silicones and Sulphates, which respect the skin and scalp of children, as is the case of the line Novex My Curls, dermatologically tested and suitable for the smallest curls. Do the same with skin products (lotion, shower gel, soap and eau de cologne) and accessories (water thermometer, brush, toiletry bag, pajamas...).
5 - Use and abuse the distraction trick
At the end of a working day, we know that originality tends to be in short supply for parents, but whenever possible, try to tell stories, invent contests between siblings (who takes the fastest shower, for example) or play a different character. So, instead of being the parent bathing their child, it can be a gnome, a clown or a fairy godmother!
6 - Create unexpected moments of animation
Take advantage of the before and after bath phases to create an environment of surprise complicity. Try taking the shower and start singing a song in the bath or use original towels and play with the little ones from superheroes in fluttering capes or princesses in royal robes.
7 - Praise the child at the end of the bath
Compliments such as "That smells great!" or "How beautiful!" are essential for the child to feel good, happy and super proud to have the bath ritual as part of their daily routine.
8 - Ask and share without fear
Knowledge has no place and, as far as children are concerned, all doubts are valid. So, if you still have fears, failures at bath time or other unanswered questions, talk to your pediatrician, read childcare books or share your experience with other mothers and friends.
