My son used to enjoy bath time by sitting in the bath tub and washing his body with towel and scoop of water and we wash his face and hair with towel as well but that was before we started sending him to nursery school (modern montessori) 1 week ago as he has reached 18 months.
Eversince then, he is afraid of bathing, just the mention of bathing will send him crying, sometime really very hard. He even have nightmare. He is like struggling or throwning tantrum in his dream but his eye is closed.
We found out that he has been bath standing up and most likely he was showered from the head and downwards and I think that where it all started. The teachers there told us that we must work with them on this and that my son will gradually get use to it but It been a week already and he is still cry like mad and often have nightmare. I think this stressful event might be the cause of his sickness (i.e running nose and etc)
We are going to tell the teacher not to bath him anymore but just towel wipe him when he is sticky. We will intend to bath him still standing up with te shower head but where his face and hair is concerned. We will go back to the previous method before we started sending him school.
Does any parent out there encounter such situation as us.
Would like to find out what are the other way to salvage this situation. I want bath time fun for him and not nightmare.
Very sad daddy and mummy here.
I already felt like going to the school and tear it down ancing_unhappy:
Any advise or methods here would be great.
