What to do when your child afraid of water?

You and your wife go to the beach, bring your children with you in the hope of accompanying them to swim in the water or holding their hands to dance in the happy laughter. Yet when he saw the water, he kept hugging his mother's neck, or crying out when his father dipped himself into the water.

At home, too, every time a baby bath is hard. So how?

Picture 1 of What to do when your child afraid of water? "I'm not sure if I like water or not" (Photo: webtretho). The first thing to remember is not to force your child. The capture of the baby in the water makes the baby afraid of water more and fear the attitude of adults too.

Should pay attention to find out the cause of fear. Probably because the water is cold or the waves hit too hard. Let your baby get used to it gradually, naturally like sitting with a sand house with your baby in the water, to make the baby exposed to the waves while playing, getting used to the temperature of the water or letting them hold their neck Dad behind me when Dad sits across from the wave. Thus, the baby will get used to the sea and the familiar words will come to like.

At home, if your baby is afraid of taking a bath, you should pay attention to the cause. Is it because the adults let the baby's hot or freshly soaked foam soap splash cold water on the baby? For children, everything must be done slowly, combined with play, changing the 'to take a bath' into 'going against the water' . Therefore, your baby will prefer to bathe if there are some toys in the bath like a duck, the dog is floating.

Also distinguish the fact that your child is afraid of water and that he doesn't want to take a bath because he is playing.

Here are a few things adults should pay attention to when bathing babies: Do not drop fragile, glass objects in the bath to make toys for babies. Never leave your baby alone in a bath with water, even though the water level is low. Do not take your eyes off your baby when they are outside the beach. The bottom of the bath tub should be lined with a slippery, slip-resistant cloth. For babies, water is a source of pleasure, but it can also be a source of accidents.
