Explanation:
1. Toddlers can drown in a minimum amount of water. The child may look in the bucket and fall in head first. Because of mobility limitations, the child may not be able to get out of the bucket without help.
2. This is appropriate to reduce the risk of injury.
3. This allows the mother to adjust the temperature of the bath water and reduces the risk of burns.
4. This is the safest place for the child.
