  • My sons were doing this at about 8 years old... my daughter had very long hair, so she needed my help until she was about 10.
  • I would think it would be different for each kid. There isn't some magic age. When they can do it themselves let them.
  • I think when they are old enough to want to be modest and can be trusted not to flood the bathroom floor. My five year old is almost there, but I think I'll wait another year for him to grow up a little.
  • For a shower, maybe as young as 6, but for a bath, I would wait until at least 7 or 8. When they ask to be left alone, might be about right, if they seem responsible enough.
  • Seven or eight would be about right, but just remember to check on them often. Kids can drown even at that age! Be safe!
