Bathing

Description

Throughout early childhood, the ritual of bathing is an important opportunity for children to develop an objective understanding of the body. In this program, mental health specialists and others immerse themselves in the subject of bathing, examining how it bonds parents with their babies and helps shape a child's self-perception. Footage of parents and their children offers additional opportunities to observe how hygiene, culture, and socialization intersect in the bath, promoting indispensable emotional exchanges. Infantile sexuality, toilet training, and childhood illness are also considered.
