Does bath time feel like a nightly battle?
- Your child enjoys bubbles but panics when water approaches their ears.
- Hair washing causes fear, resistance or sensory overwhelm.
- Rushing and reassurance do not seem to make bath time feel safer.
A gentler way to approach bath time
Little Ducky is not ready for bath time all at once-and that is OK.
With reassurance, patience and very small steps, Ducky begins to discover that difficult things can gradually feel more manageable.
The story gives children a comforting character they can relate to while giving grown-ups gentle language they can use during challenging routines.
