Today, most homes come equipped with a bathtub. However, parents fail to realize that even a small amount of water can be quite dangerous for smaller children. Bathtub drownings are still extensively reported. Every time a child is near or around water, the child should be constantly supervised. Other safety precautions can be taken as well. For example, when a tub is not being used, drain it.
