At hwhat age should you stop sharing a bath or shower with your child?

Answer 1

Children are curious about bodies, theirs and other peoples.

If your child is asking what things are, answer honestly and simply and change the subject. (ie: "That's daddy's penis, just like your penis" or "That's Daddy's penis. Boys have a penis to pee-pee like girls have a vagina.") At a young age, this teaches that there is nothing about the body that's dirty or bad or embarassing.

It's also a good time to explain that some body parts are private, and that no one but mommy, daddy and the doctor are allowed to touch or look at his/her private parts, and that if anyone ever tries, he/she should tell you and mommy right away.

But if that doesn't dismiss the subject, if they stare or keep trying to touch things after you've repeated that that's your private area, or if they seem embarassed or are trying not to look, then they've probably outgrown it. For opposite sex children, this starts around 2 1/2 or 3. For same sex children, it's more when they start wanting to play alone in the shower, but for utilitarian uses (scrubbing off mud or food coloring or at the public showers at a beach/pool) you may be sharing a shower for a long time.
