[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I feel comfortable leaving my 3 year old charge in the tub alone for a few minutes at a time. She's been taking swim classes since around 1.5, so she gets the whole underwater=can't breathe concept. Also, the tub has a no slip mat. I've been with her since birth, although I now only see her for a couple hours a week since starting a career elsewhere. At any rate, after I finish washing her hair and soaping her up, I usually leave to get her little brother dressed if I bathed them together, or to start her dinner while she plays. She understands bath safety, and the bedroom and kitchen are within eat shot. I also periodically check in on her, or call out to her. When she answers, I say I'm just checking that she's still alive! We have very candid conversations she and I. :lol: Her parents know that I do this, and they seem to not have an issue with it, as they've never brought it up. In my opinion, it's simply a matter of knowing your charge and being a responsible caretaker based on your situation. Of course accidents can happen to any child at any age, so it's a matter of sensibility to be proactive enough to prevent them at an effective level.[/quote]
