DS (22 months) has always loved his bathtime - especially with big sister (5). For some totally unknown reason he seems really scared of it now and asks to get out and screams until he does. I have racked my brain to see what it is that he's scared of but to be honest there's nothing specific and I have stopped trying to work it out. I've even got in the bath with him (better but still unhappy) to make it better for him........ I know that at this age they do start to find things scary, as he's also become a little scared of loud noises too.
Has anybody got any advice for me in the short term as to how I can persuade him that bathtime is a fun time and a nice place to be for him again? Perhaps yours have had the same thing? (please tell me they have or I'll think my children are strange! - DD was scared of men with beards at the same age!!) I feel so sorry - even though I know it will pass!
