Safety
Children are very inquisitive little beings and all things to them are exciting if not waiting to be discovered. The washroom having tiles and water is a dangerous area for your little one. Even though you may be with them to help them with their bath, you are not always there. It is better to teach safety to them and make the areas safe as well.
No matter how much you tell your son or daughter not to run around one time or another they will be running around. The risk of getting hurt increases when they have cold tiles beneath wet feet. Place some anti-slip mats especially in the area around the toilet bowl and the tub. This way they will always be stepping on firm ground. Place your creativity into the question and get them mats designed in the shape of their favourite cartoon character or colours that match with the overall theme colour.
Lighting
One of the dangers is the failure to have a well-lit bathing area. You may have the subtle and dim lights in your bath to enhance the mood but not in theirs. The light should get to all corners to avoid them bumping into objects or slipping for failing to see the water on the floor. Keep it well lit but not too bright.
Child proofing
Children have little fingers and where it may seem impossible to have a finger stuck in the drain, it is possible for them. Get drain and faucet covers to avoid their inquisitive fingers being stuck as they reach out for something that catches their eye.
Your creativity has to come to a halt when it comes to the toilet bowl. Do not place bright or exciting colours on it. Keep it subtle to avoid a potential drowning incident as your little one attempts to see the lovely colours or the picture of their cartoon character and end up with their head stuck in the bowl. Even better, you can get a clamp for the toilet seat so that you run it for them and keep their fingers and heads out. This is especially important for children under the age of five.
