Teach them that this is not ok.

I don't think i have gone to the bathroom in peace in 8 or 9 years, between the cats who think i have an escape route out another door and my children who think i will never come out again. I have recently put locks on my bathroom doors and lock them when I go in even if its just to blow my nose. My children still want to come in but can't. They get mad and stomp off. But I am now getting some quiet time in the bathroom. Now if I could only get the cats to stop scratching the door and putting their paws under it..................

Maybe they are just curious about nakedness, or they are curious as to why you feel uncomfortable about them seeing you in a certain room. I would start by walking the child through the whole process of the "visit to the bathroom", so they see there is nothing so "mysterious or captivating" about it. Maybe it will also engrain in them to wash their hands with soap every time too, or not use so much toilet paper, etc.

Install a very high lock on the bathroom door,the kind used in hotels.

Don't make a big deal out of it. Depending on how old the child is, teach them to knock before entering. You don't want to give the kid a complex about his/her body, or bodily functions, but make clear that some places and activities are private and not to be shared with others.

Lock the door. My children always come in when I am in the bathroom, so does my husband. I really don't think anything about it.

You know what? I haven't had a peaceful bathroom moment in 9 years. That is one of the "joys" of being a parent.

After explaining to your child that the door is closed for privacy etc and it still happens.
It's time to lock it.

I wouldn't worry about it if the child is under 6... after that you need to be firmer about personal boundaries and privacy.. for both of your sakes.. and start locking the door..

How old?
If really young, say 2 - 5 I would explain to them they are wrong to do it, if over 5 or even at 5 I would whip their butt for being a pervert after the 2nd time.

i dont think with children its a like or dislike.
young children especially are inquisitive and want to learn and unerstand, and they do this by observation and copying what they see.
I wouldnt worry, unless theyare slightly older in which case they should be reminded that its not wrong, but privacy and respect go hand-in-hand and suggest a knock before they enter the room!
