Test the water again. Repeat if necessary. Always check water temperature before placing your child in the tub. A child's skin burns more easily than an adult's. Supervise kids in the tub.
Young children can turn the hot water on by themselves.
Older children can scald a younger child. If you rent, ask your landlord to lower the water temperature or put an anti-scald device in your shower and bathtub fixtures. Go to Safe Kids table of contents .
