How to Do It Check out some bath time basics! Kid Basics: - Use soap or cleanser.
- Wash all of the soap off of your body.
- Close your eyes and your mouth when you wash your hair.
- Always sit in the tub. Don’t stand up or jump around, or you may fall.
Parent Basics: - Set the temperature of your hot water heater no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Turn on hot water yourself to avoid accidents. Never let a young child touch the faucet.
- Before your child gets in the tub, check the temperature with the inside of your wrist or elbow or a bath thermometer.
- Teach your child how to wash each part of the body well, and to rinse well.
- As a safety precaution, never leave the room when your young child is in the bath.
