Tannenbaum suggests doing what spa professionals do—be prepared for the task at hand and provide services with dignity and discretion.
“Spa professionals see all sorts of bodies, and they perform their services without making comments or criticisms about their guests,” she says. “This is why their guests love to come back again and again.”
If you are a caregiver who wants to provide a special treat for someone, try adopting Tannenbaum’s techniques at home. You will be rewarded with a shared experience that makes bathing a more enjoyable activity for both of you.
