Bath Anxiety

JaZavitz

I hope you guys can give me some info and tips to help my 3 year old.

He is absolutely terrified to have a bath. He screams and cries to the point he cannot stop and is short of breath or vomits.

It started with crying when water got in his eyes when we were washing his hair. Next it was that he cried when we were washing his hair.... then... he cried when we talked about washing his hair when he was playing in the bath... and now... it starts when we tell him he has to have a bath or talk about him having a bath!

 Anyone else have this?

He has never had an accident in the bath or with water and I never leave the tub side when he is bathing so im not sure what has caused this.
