Another thing to make sure you have is the towels, and everything you need before you put the child in the tub. Teaching the children to keep the water in the tub is important. Also when washing the children you want to make sure they have children's wash because their skin is sensitive and you should use a wash cloth.
For example when I give a bath and he pores the water out, I drain the tub and say when you do that it shows me you are finished. The water stays in the tub so the child knows what his consequences are after he did it a few times. Even if he doesn't want to be done he has to get out. If he wants to splash he can but I need to shut the curtain.
In a week or so I'm going to begin my job as a mommys helper and she does have a much younger child and I was nervous to bathe him but this truly helped ease my nerves!
