[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why so many here feel if they are “just in the other room” within ear shot that makes a difference. It doesn’t.  Either you can see them or you can’t.  Drowning is silent.  Unless your child is continuously noisy nonstop in the bathroom this makes no sense.  The absence of sound doesn’t not mean they are safe.  Surely your child has periods of quiet in the tub.  Unless you can physically see them, you have no way of knowing if they are in danger [/quote]

Mine was a singer and a babbler. I have a lot of audio recordings from those days and it’s 20 min of uninterrupted talking, singing, and role play.

He is 11 now and still sings in the shower! But yes, if you have a quiet kid, you have to be there. If I heard a few seconds of quiet,
I would have checked. But I never did. We had some good acoustics in that bathroom (interior room with no windows in a converted candy factory) so it was like a karaoke room. [/quote]

Yep same here. Never quiet! But was a strong swimmer by age 5 and I had zero concerns about bathtub drowning. He was capable of swimming the length of our pool and jumping off the diving board at that age. At age 8 he still loves a bath and still makes lots of noise!

On another note I am laughing about those poor kids whose parents only give them 4 inches of water! That sounds truly awful! Those poor cold kids. Soaking in a bath is a great joy of childhood!

Yep. We had swimmers too. I’m surprised at many of these posts. [/quote]
