Big Feelings Are OK: Bath Time Is Coming

Daisy loves muddy play, but she dislikes baths and worries about water near her ears.Children see how a supportive adult can: - use a clear first-then sequence - offer a small, manageable choice - listen when a sensory concern is explained - introduce water gradually - practise calm breathing togetherUnlike a busy picture book covering several challenges, this bath time anxiety story stays with one familiar routine and repeated actions, deliberately reducing visual switching. Nicola Ahern created it from her experience as a neurodivergent parent raising neurodivergent children, alongside her child psychology background and research.Daisy's experience does not promise every bath will become easy. It gives families a starting point for discussing bath time resistance. Choose it so your child can feel heard, prepared and supported before the taps begin.
