Bath on their own

[lauralane]

What age did you let your children bath on their own?

I think my son was about 6 when i used to pop in and out to check, i don't think i left him completely until he was 9 or 10. i think it entirely depends on the common sense and general awareness of each individual child. My son is now 12, he would be mortified if i went anywhere near him at bathtime!!!

I'd say the same as katie!

My daughter's 8 and I still keep an eye on her and she asks me to check the water before she gets in if she's run it herself.

I agree with all the above.

I have two younger daughters (9 & 5) who shared a bath up until earlier in the year. I now let the older one bathe by herself, but stay in the room with the youngest.
