Test the water again. Repeat, if necessary. Install anti-scald devices in your shower and bathtub fixtures that stop the water flow when the temperature exceeds 120oF. Always check the 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 andbathtub fixtures. Keep hot foods and drinks away from the edge of tables and counters. Do not put them on a tablecloth that little hands can yank. If you're holding something hot, don't hold your child too.
