Showers: Should Children Use Them?
With all the potential hazards that a shower can pose, should you really be taking your child into the shower? Some Mums would argue that a shower is no less safe than a bath, which has an equal potential for slipping, scalding or drowning. Others keep their kids in the bath simply because children don't like the water spraying in their eyes. However, some houses simply aren't built for baths, and a tiny bathroom offers no potential for having one fitted. In these cases, it is essential to follow these tips for keeping children safe in showers.
Showers: The Essential Rule for Children
The key safety tip for having children in the shower is to keep them supervised by an adult at all times. You should actually be in the shower with your child - and not just outside watching them - wherever possible. Not only will this make washing their hair and bodies easier, but means you can keep a constant check on temperature, direct the shower flow away from their eyes and keep them calm and still so they don't slip.

Showers: Slippery Trays
Shower trays can be notoriously slippery, especially if they are made with a smooth-floor design. And they can get even worse once shampoo and shower gels are used and the product spreads out across the floor. The most obvious safety solution is to get a rubber shower mat. This will prevent slips and falls – but make sure your child stays standing on it. Buy one with a fun and colourful design that appeals to kids and brightens up your showers at the same time.
Showers: Scalding Water
Older showers can be incredibly temperamental, and have a tendency to go scalding hot or freezing cold without a moment's notice. Whilst this may just make you scream and jump, it could really harm your child. Because their skin is 15 times more sensitive than an adult's, they scald so much more easily. It takes just five seconds for a toddler to suffer 3rd degree burns from water at 60ºC.
