Until what age do you think it is or is not appropriate to give a child a bath, before they do it themselves?

Answer 1

My son started washing by himself when he was 5 and decided he was a big boy and didn't need help. But some kids don't really wash if you don't pay attention. So i just peak my head into the bathroom to make sure he actually washes up.

Answer 2

5

Answer 3

i was 5 when i started taking a bath on my own

Answer 4

My little girl is 2 years old and she washes herself. Im not a bad mother. She wants to do it herself. She makes her own bed, dresses herself, feeds herself...she does it all by herself. If i try to help her then she throws a fit but i do help her pick clothes. She'll dress herself up in anything that fits but i make her match. She'll just throw on anything..

Answer 5

I helped my daughter with her bath until she was about 5, then she started showering by herself, but I still helped her until she was comfortable doing it by herself

Answer 6

I think when they start asking questions about there anatomy it's kind of time to step back and let them start washing themselves....

Answer 7

until they can scrub behind their ears. :D...jk...

about the time they can wash them selfs without comming out of the bath as dirty as they went in. and sometimes it might be good to have the dad wash the son and the mom wash the daughter.

Answer 8
