How can I keep bathwater safe for my child?

Keep Your Kids Out Of Hot Water!

To avoid burning your child with water that is too hot, fill the tub before your child gets in and make sure that the water is a comfortable temperature. If you need to add more water while s/he's in the tub, position him/her well away from the faucet, check the temperature of the bath frequently, and always turn off the hot water before the cold if there are separate controls. When s/he is very young, teach your child a basic tub safety rule that she is not allowed to touch the faucet handles; as she gets older, teach her how to control the hot and cold water.
