Till What Age Is It Appropriate For Parent To Bathe With Children?
Hello, I am a 30 year old single mother of two boys ages 6 and almost 3, At what age do you think that it is inappropriate to stop taking showers with them? I don t shower with them on a regular basis but at times when we are all in a hurry I pop them in with me. My parents feel that this is inappropriate however these are my babies ( always will be ) and they don t ask questions regarding my anatomy... I m just trying to get a professional opinion, what do you think?

HI...I am giving an unbiased professional opinion. By the age of 3 years the kids know the gender difference. I don't think it is appropriate to bathe along with them...especially your 6 year old. Your parents are right.
