Toddlers On Water

My daughter's also two and a half, and she's exactly the same way. She stands on her step by the bathroom sink, puts the plug in and fills it up, and then she likes to put her bath toys in there, or fill up a cup or just splash. I let her do it for a while, but whenever I want her to stop there are also big tantrums! I think water's just fun. Kids like to be wet, and they like the feel of it, it's so different to everything else. My daughter also likes to jump in puddles, especially really muddy ones, sadly, lol! And she also likes going to the swimming pool. I can see why she likes it, I quite like it too.

Hi marc, [i]Maybe the coolness of it and the refreshing feeling touching and getting wet! I do love playing water too and staying in the beach or pool makes me feel great even up to this time! Maybe when he will be 6, you can enroll him to swimming![/i]

Absolutely that children love to be in the water and it includes my daughter which is a year and one month at this time and she really want to stay in the water for a very long time and I just forced her everyday just to be taken off from the water so i guess almost all of the children love it especially in the Swimming Pool......

pls let me know, in what way he play the water?? i mean pls specify the movement or what kind of playing he does! in order for me to analyze wats the problem

My kids and niece at that ege also loves water. They play in the water, splash on it, swim on it and anything they can. Maybe because they are fascinated with the fact that they can hold it but then it slipped off their hands. They are new to its texture and wonders on its property. To them water is like peek-a-boo on a higher level.

Being a mother of a 3 yr old, i can say that most of the toddlers enjoy playing in the water, specially in summer. She loves going to water park where she spends endless time in pool; her favourite has always been the dancing fountain. Looking at her makes me feel nostalgic about my younger days.

I think it is a common nature of kids. Most of them are love to play with water. The worst thing is they are playing with puddles in road while going for a walk. Intentionally they are putting their feet in it. I also don't understand why kids are so interesting to play with water.

My daugter is 32 months and she has just recently gone through the loving water stage too. I would have to fill the sink up for her everyday for her to play in or else she would just have a big tantrum! Same with bathing, she would drive me mad wanting a bath everyday and again having tantrums when she could not! It did not last long though and she does not bother with it anymore now, in fact she seems to be going the opposite and now when it is bathtime I have a fight on my hands somedays to get her in it LOL.

My youngest is 2 she loves playing with water either stood on a chair at the sink, out in the garden or her favourite time of the day, bathtime. Her big sister is 4 and she still loves playing in water and the wetter they get the better, thats to say nothing of jumping in a great big puddle and even one time when it was muddy and she went so deep it came to her knees she didnt care she loved it I let them play in it as much as they want to unless I really need them to stay clean
