Standing in Bath - Big deal or just let it go?

Safety

Hey Parents - our two year old is pretty sweet and easy going but she hates sitting in the bath. She’s happy to stand, but I’m just wondering if this is even worth fighting her on. I’m usually in the camp of I am happy to let her do things her way unless it’s unsafe and this seems unsafe because she might slip.

So I guess 1. Is it worth the fight? Or should I just let her stand? And 2. What suggestions do you have to encourage sitting?

TIA!
