In her latest social media post, Pat Velasquez-Gaspar shows her approach to bath time has evolved since becoming a mother.
As Isla Patriel was her first child, Pat admits that bath time initially felt like a stressful chore. Now that her son is three years old, it has become one of their favorite bonding activities.
Despite Isla’s active nature and enthusiasm for water activities, Pat continues to observe the arm’s reach safety rule she learned from a ParenTeam parenting guide. She makes sure to keep her son within arm’s reach throughout bath time and prepares everything they need beforehand.
“Kahit active toddler na siya, strict pa rin ako sa arm’s reach safety rule na natutunan ko sa ParenTeam article na ‘to. At inihahanda ko na ang lahat ng kailangan ko bago pa man siya maligo,” Pat says.
She also follows other important precautions, including checking the water temperature using her wrist and placing non-slip mats to help prevent accidental slips.
Through these practices, Pat highlights the importance of proper preparation and supervision in making bath time both enjoyable and safe for children.
