Not that I have the right to offer solid advice about fathering - I’m new at this. This one I heard recently but can’t place the source right now (this was actually from Super Nanny).

B.T.W. My wife and I are big fans of Super Nanny. Our hearts go out to those parents and it is also good “heads up” for things that could go awry. It’s wonderfully confirming to see that *we* don’t have it so bad.

When giving your kid a bath, give them a pair of goggles to wear when you are washing and rinsing their hair. No soap in their eyes. Try it.” - Super Nanny on ABC

Bath-time is part of my daily ritual with the boys right now, and the soap-in-the-eye thing is a real killjoy. The goggles workeded for about two nights. Great. Onward and upward. No really, it’s kind of a stupid idea. If you are washing a little girls hair (or hey, a little boy’s) and it is very long and they have goggles strapped on - how the heck are you going to comfortably and efficiently wash their hair? Besides, the soap-in-the-eye thing can be averted easy enough (close your eyes) but the water in the mouth and in the nose is the real bummer for my tike. File this tip under, “Don’t Bother.”
