Parents should test water with their elbow instead of their hand because the skin on the elbow is generally thicker and less sensitive, providing a better gauge for temperature without the immediate sensitivity of the hand. This method helps avoid accidental burns or discomfort for the caregiver while ensuring the water is at a safe temperature for children. It's a practical way to ensure safety when preparing baths or cleaning.
