Parenting Tips for Your 15-16 Month Old Toddler
You may have noticed how much your little one loves to splash in water. Take an extra minute or two at bath time to let your child have more fun. Keep some toys just for water play. Plastic containers, measuring cups, spoons, and funnels all make fine bath toys. Be sure to wash them before giving them to your toddler.
During the bath, you can play the Name Game, a good way to have fun and help your little one learn the names of her body parts. Point to each body part while you say, “Here’s your nose; here are your eyes”. Soon your child will be able to point to the right part when you say the name.
When your child sits in the water, you can sing or chant, “One hand splash, other hand splash, up, down, splash, splash all around.”
Remember always to stay in the bathroom with your little one. She is not old enough to bathe alone and could easily fall or slip under the water.
