Bath Time - South Beloit,IL

Modesty usually kicks in around 6 years of age.

My son and his besties boyb and girl would all bathe togethre when we had sleepovers. They put a stop to it on their own at 6.

My children are 7 (a girl) and almost 4 (a boy). They still bathe together, and it isn't an issue yet. Most of the time we have them in the shower so space isn't an issue, but certainly when they are in the bathtub it is tight.

I stopped bathing my son and daughter together when he was 1 and she was 4. There just was not enough room in the tub for them both. She wanted stretch out and they were both moving around trying to play.

Not to mention, I was beginning to talk to my daughter more about privacy, when changing her clothes or going to the bathroom and was contradicting myself by letting them bathe together.

They both like their separate bath times now. My daughter, now 5, likes hanging out in the tub and my son, now 2, likes the one-on-one play time with me.

If they still like to bathe together, I think it is perfectlly fine. Eventually they will start feeling more body conscious and want their privacy (especially the older one). But until then let them have fun. My daughter and son took baths together until about age 6 and 4, then one day, my daughter wanted to be alone (and space in the tub became an issue). Of course, if they are still taking baths together as teenagers, you might want to reevalute the situation! :)

i wish i could bathe our kids together... but... they have never shared the tub and they are step siblings so its not appropriate.. but man would it be easier...... lol I say until about age 6 or so you could bathe together...
