At what age is it not dangerous to be off a child alone contained by the tub?
ok so iv got 2 kids ages 4 and 1.
they share a bath.
is it safe to check out of my 4yr old, (he was 4 in feb this year and starts conservatory in sept.) in the bath while is capture baby dry and get his pajamas on in the subsequent room?
my friend says she thinks its fine and she leaves her son in hip bath to play but he is only 2, i think this is too young.
my mum say its not safe to leave him even at 4 but she admits to human being very over protective!!
what do you lot think?
thanks ;)
My son is 4 1/2, and as long as I remind him to sit still and not try to get out on his own, I feel pretty undisruptive going out of the room for short periods (to get a forgotten towel, etc.) One technique we have used while working up to this is to own him sing while I'm out of the room (he is a big fan of "Rubber Ducky"). That way, I can hear him the whole time and know that he hasn't fall or isn't under the water somehow. He likes to sing contained by the bath anyway, so it was reassuring for me. I muse four is old enough to be able to give somebody a lift care of your younger child, but I wouldn't leave him totally alone for the whole time (plus, if he is approaching my son, he'd be too busy playing to wash!).
I have 4 children of my own. Ages from 18 mos. - 9 years. I bathe my 18 mos. old & 3 year frail together,and often leave my 3 year old surrounded by the tub while I dry and dress my baby. He knows to stay sitting down, and there is terrifically little water in the tub. I think as long as you reitterate the rules and dnagers of slipping a 4 year prehistoric is absolutely able to stay alone in the tub for that short of a time. He will probably delight in that time too!
Phew! I'm glad I read this question.. I thought you meant disappear your 1 yr old with the 4 yr old...
I would not be concerned beside leaving your 4 yr old alone for a few mins in the tub. I would only just ensure I was within ear shot so I could hear him.
i wouldnt leave a 4 year old on his own. a few mins is fine to g get something or check on something. but dont cogitate he should do bathtime on his own.
but maybe you can start by sitting in their with him and tolerate him do the bathing and the procedures, etc. and then in a year or two maybe he can do it.
i assume i might be overportective too. but if youare unsure about it then i dont think you should. better undisruptive than sorry...right??
Answers: I manifestly wouldn't leave a 4 year old in the tub alone. I know a lady who left her 4 y/o in a child pool while she ran inside to get something. When she came out a minute then he was dead. If she wouldn't have not here him, he would still be alive today. She always hated herself for that. My older 2 are 9 & 11, & heck yes, they cart showers on their own, but I still check on them a bunch.
I don't regard as any child should be left alone in the bath until they are mature enough to know how to swim well and keep their head above water. I would say that 4 is too young. 2 is plainly too young being a toddler. I live in Phoenix and hear around toddlers drowning in pools weekly.
i know someone that left their 5 year old, and he went into a fit a minute after she left him and died from drowning. I say mama knows best.
you can leave them contained by the tub together as long as the 4 year old is responsible or you can leave them there but travel to check on them every 2 or 3 min
I reckon it's safe enough to leave a four year matured in the bath. For like one or two minutes. I close-fisted they're only in the next room. But if you are concerned a moment ago make sure the bath water isn't too weighty. I'm fifteen years old and I have a six year old sister. She be fine in the bath on her own when she was four.
yeah self say thats fine, aslong as you can hear him splashing around and palying or singing
I don't think it's safe at any age for a child really
they don't see the dangers resembling we would and can easily slip trying to stand or reach something.
One minute with your support turned could leave you with a life time of regrets or sorrow
Even a flawless child could faint or something and slip below the water and if they slump forward it only wishes an inch or two of water to drown them.
Be happy be safe
All the unbelievably best to you
