Until your kids are closer to 8-9 years, I would NEVER suggest you to leave them alone in the bath. My five and a half years old nephew was recently left alone in the bathtub for a quick run to the door and figured he would be Okay.

We learned the hard way that it's still far too early to leave him alone, and I would say to anyone out there, your child is worth so much more than starting super a few minutes late or answering the door/phone. I thank God every day that day didn't turn out tragic.
