I certainly never let a child handle bath time :) And good thinking about keeping modesty for both boys and girls. Never thought of that. Hi CaDad, thanks for the advise.

Your son should not be bathed by a sitter who is not at least 16 years or older. Accidents can and do happen and young girls are not prepared for that eventuality. When your son reaches 5 or 6, he should have the ability to bath alone without a babysitter helping him-encourage his independence and his modesty. It should be kicking in about then.Anyways-boys are more subtle in making this clear so do listen and go with your instincts. There is a new report out about adolecent girl babysitters molesting young boys, it apparently is epidemic-so be very careful, if you would not want a male babysitter bathing your daughter at a certain age, do not allow a girl babysitter to do bath your son at a certain age.

It gets rather difficult for the mothers to handle them! Thus the fathers and helpers come in useful! Hehehe... Amy, oh my God, she's sinking her head into the tub?! Maybe it's a good time to send her for swimming lessons. I'm tempted but still unsure because I sense that my boy is a little bit afraid of water! Emily, I guess boys will be boys huh.

Amy, oh my God, she’s sinking her head into the tub?! Maybe it’s a good time to send her for swimming lessons. I’m tempted but still unsure because I sense that my boy is a little bit afraid of water!

Hubby only helps if I ask him to or if I am sick. My girl is so active now and will not sit still even for a min. One min she's standing up, next min she's drinking water from the tub, next min she's biting the bath toy etc... I always end up wet myself :-). Can't wait for the day when I can bath her directly using the shower... hehe I bath my girl every evening and weekends. Hubby only helps if I ask him to or if I am sick.

Your hubby very good leh, can help to bathe your son... During the weekdays, my helper will bathes my boy.. During the weekends, I'll try to take over... The bathing session is fun, but can be tiring cos they are so active at this age.. at times, I also lost control and I have to shout for help from my helper... haha! Wow!
