L bath time is the ideal opportunity for parents and children to really know and spend time together. As you can see l bath time \; is yours. Many parents choose to treat it as a chore, and fear in the evening – and their children. In many homes, the bath time is almost as boring as brushing teeth.
However, you can decide, bath time into something special, that s you like, you and your child each day. For a child, l Bath time should be a transition between noise, fast-paced world of day and the world quiet and comfortable bed. With very few effort on your part, you can make a magical moment for both of you. How do you inject a little magic in the bath? First, the order of priority.
Set a time for baths, meals plants to make calls, cooking, l home home from your spouse, so that at night and at rest – and find the time for you and your child. When the phone rings, let the answering machine pick it up. Try to do a quick tidy-up your child before bath time, you have not faced a horrible mess later – there is a transition between day and night to you. Make sure you set aside sufficient time for you are not in a hurry, your child is irritating to hurry.
Well, to make fun of bath! Here are some suggestions for addition of magic. Bubbles: You have an assortment of bubble baths suitable for your child. As long as you do not choose something too hard, you not have on children s products may have to stay very natural flavors and colors.
Include basic baby bubble bath, bath salts and some therapeutic energetic, athletic days. Show your different bottles and demonstrate the selection of bubbles that you use every night. Maybe if your child help you clean, they can choose?
Essential oils (no longer) Two drops oil of lavender or chamomile essential added to the bath and stirred well in calm and soothe a child after a long day fractions.
For variety, and be sure that oil is distributed, you can also submit a cup of milk before bath. We sometimes use a lint-free soft bubble bath with essential oils.
Light candles for special occasions: This is only for well-supervised bath times – but kids really like the ambiance a bathroom by candlelight. We propose that the candle that when children are in the tub and turned off before that they go to be safe.
Hot towels and pajamas: particularly spoiled in the month of winter, children love to come out of the bath in a heated towel and pajamas! Little touches that make the difference. Poetry night: In our house every Friday night bath night of poetry.
We chose Friday night because it was often d other children play around d a Friday afternoon and that meant that our children were often tired and irritable when he s , acting in the bath time. We found the perfect poems in the library and Internet are stored all the printed pages in plastic folders, they splash around and tried an interesting variety of poems, introducing the children. In fact, we read the same favorite poems over and over again!
Bath toys: Rotate bath toys ruthlessly so that there is always something interesting to play! Every so often you can use the kitchen to raid the right tools too – children love playing with sieves, whisks, measuring cups and jugs. Our children are constantly with a funnel, plastic bottles (some with holes in them) and some plastic jugs.
If you do not want to use your own kitchen facilities, you can find these things very cheaply in flea markets and dollar stores. A screen plastic is also used for excellent storage basket. Fun foam toys: You can buy foam shapes s fun in buckets, or you can purchase the foam in the store crafts and cut your own shapes.
Maybe you could change your shapes to match holidays and seasons – flowers for spring and summer, Christmas trees at Christmas, Easter bunnies and eggs for? There are too many activities Learning Possible cuts to colors, shapes, numbers or alphabet, teach and practice d matching, clustering , sorting, ordering, and so on. Shaving foam sculpture: Squirt a few large drops of shaving cream on the side of the tub or your child s hands (the warning to stay out of sight) and let his imagination take over!
Music cassettes and history: L bath time is a good opportunity to present all kinds of music or hear a special story on tape or CD. Bubbles: For a special treat, bring some mixing of bubbles in the bathroom. Make sure that it does not interfere with your eyes!
Colored bathroom: A few drops of food coloring will transform the bath into something exotic! Try orange or green to Halloween, red or green for Christmas, red for Valentine s Day, etc.. Keep the container out of reach of children!
Language night: A friend used the bath time once a week as \; language evening \,, l teaching their children in French by the listening to French tapes and singing French songs. She decorated the room with small colorful posters, cutting of old books or printing of pages of the net and laminating fact, they stuck around the bathroom with a sticky-tac.
Each bath toys used that night were objects that could be named in French (plastic vegetables from his child, a shop, plastic boy and girl dolls, and so on). Finally, n not forget that in a few years the whole ritual of bath time is long gone and your children are old enough to shower or bathe in your own – resisting any attempt to bother you!
Have you noticed how eagerly a grandmother runs her grandchild to the bathroom and splash and play a lot longer than necessary? If you asked them, they tell you to make the most of bath time, while you can. What are you doing now to the bad times will magically thousand times in memories for you and your children repaid in the future!
