Dunking face in water.

My 4 year old has always had an issue with getting his hair and face wet. Recently he’s started dunking his face into the bath, getting distressed but repeatedly doing it. When asked why he’s doing it he says it’s because of the toys, or his brother/dad/myself. Basically he can’t give any reason why. He has done this during every bath time for the last few weeks. Today he did it twice before I could stop him. Then he cried that he wanted to get out. I told him we’d have a quick wash then get straight out. Whilst he was getting washed I could see in his face he was wanting to do it again even though he was still crying that he didn’t like it. Any advice??

Thanks

  • honestly, just try it. you will suddenly lose all interest in checking your phone every few minutes. it's really quite shocking!

  • See this is good info to know! Thumbsup 

  • The ones that work on designing UI for Android OS and Apple's OS turn on grayscale on their phones to prevent the cleverly-designed UI from triggering dopamine, addictions, etc...

  • Spicy!! ;-) TBF I don't think I've got any mates in IT that WILL use social media. I persuaded myself I needed it for business when I had the distillery... I still have it, but I limit who I have as friends. And tend to just follow chefs for recipes. I have a limited group of 31 people. As opposed to the 100's of 'friends' others have... Thinking 

  • My job sees me interacting with the big tech firms, researching the role of data, privacy, and competition. Trust big tech I do not; they do not have the commercial incentive. I have mentioned this in another thread where someone is naively trying to shoehorn a pet project on suicide prevention onto a digital platform that big tech would operate or own input tech on. This oke has their head in the sand, just doesn't want to hear authoritative critiques of their proposal. Eye roll.
