At what age do you think a little boy should stop showering with his Daddy?

Question

Uh, thanks, I never have my kid in the tub or shower alone - that wasn't the question.

Answer 1

a year before they start school (around three).  you don't want him to go around saying "i say daddy's_____________" or "daddy and i shower together".  i can't remember the last time i took a shower naked with a sibling or my mom, i was really young tho: if we shower together, we would put on bathing suits: it's still fun for the kids, and you still maintain a bit of privacy.  i'd do this trick until he is about 8.  Now the only time (women in my family) shower together is if we are back from a pool, or going to a pool and need a quick rinse or before the swim. We never shower naked together any more: we may be family, but teenage girls and their moms want a bit of privacy.   don't let them shower with you too often tho: maybe once a week or every other week is good.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I am not sure there is an age where they should definitely stop. Men shower within sight of each other all through there lives. As far as asking questions this is perfectly normal, they have the same parts, and if my son was going to ask anything about the parts, I would want him to ask his dad.

Answer 3

I read that a boy can shower with his mother until he is about 4. He can shower with his father whenever. Men can take showers together. Men pee next to each other, it's not a big deal.

Answer 4

A little boy should not shower or take a bath "alone."

They may "drowned," or turn the handle, and get "scalded."

It has happend to children, when the parent left, just to

answer the phone. Afterall, the child, does come "first." <}:-})

Answer 5

up to around 3 yrs

Answer 6

When they look up and can say, "Daddy what is that?".

LOL Then it's time to stop!

Yes about 2-4. Depends, some parents don't feel comfortable getting changed in front of their children.

It all depends.

Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 7

Personally i do not see any harm at all in this my daughter is 10 and still likes to bathe with me ..why not she is MY child, when she wants different that's when its no longer appropriate

Answer 8

Mum of twins, I have to say it's nice to hear that. When growing up my parents raised me to where you didn't ask questions, weren't put in a position to ask questions, and sure didn't go in the bedroom while they were changing or in the bathroom. Now that I am an adult there is no way I would want her to be any where near me when I am in a private situation. My daughter is 9 and still bathes with me once in a while, we have the same body parts and she will grow to look as I do one day so I see nothing wrong with it. Kids will ask questions and all the parent has to do is let them know the answer to the question and then let them know that it is natural and no big deal. If a child can't trust  his or her parents then who can they trust? A kid needs to know that strangers aren't supposed to do those things but that there are people you can trust. My daughter is 9 and now I also have the advantage of knowing that my daughter is comfortable with me and talks to me about the things she is unsure about and not trying find out from other kids.

Answer 9

my son is 2 years old,  he asked my husband "whats that" when he was around 1 1/2.  My husband told him what it was and explained that thats daddy's and he's not to touch.  my husband then continued to show my son that he has one too and no one is to touch that.  only my son.  my son and husband take showers and baths together.  i stopped taking baths with him because mommy looks a lot different than daddy and him.  the way i see it, once the parent is uncomfortable, thats the time to stop.  i stopped when he started pointing.  that was my own choice.  my husband is sometimes worried about it and i told him that as long as he's fine with it, don't worry about it.

Answer 10

@ age 2 cause thats when they start asking questions

Answer 11

My daughter is three and she bathes with either me or my partner. Stepson is nearly 11 and he still bathes with his Dad. When either person starts to feel uncomfy then it should stop, untill then its fine. They are your flesh and blood! :)

Answer 12

i would stop when your son can ask what is that.  but still answer this questions about it and explain to him what it is and that no one is to touch it.

age i would say around 2

good luck=)

Answer 13

probably when they can shower themselves.  (can turn water on and off and make it the right temp)  Just be ready to answer questions!!

Answer 14

when the child start showing interest, asking questions, talking about it, and it's not a "natural" thing anymore.
