@athenia823 my 2 yr old washes himself with supervision and instruction from me. I do his hair though.
I just started letting my 5 yr old have a little unsupervised time, but I am right there and the door is open. I still go in to do his hair and supervise washing up.
Our 3 year old takes a shower by himself. I’m normal just in the bedroom folding laundry so I can still hear everything and when he says he is done I sit do a quick once over to make sure he got everything.
Yes LOL he was a big bathtub splasher and he was flooding our bathroom so we had to switch him to a shower about 6 months ago and he took to it really well! It’s so much easier now and less of a mess to clean up.
My daughter only took bathes til she was like 5 or 6. Then she slowly started to shower with me til she got use to them, then she'd shower by herself around 7/8. Idk if that even answered your question tho lol. She soap down in the bath herself tho around 4...supervised
My daughter washes herself during baths. I just sit there and pour water on her. She knows how to put shampoo on her hair and soap on her wash cloth. Then i help her by telling her which body part to wash. She knows where her arms, elbows, hands, neck, chest, belly, back, bump,private part, thighs, knees, calves, and feet. 🤣 Before she gets out, i usually do a quick scrub just to make sure shes nice and clean, lol. But i think she enjoys it more doing it herself. Im slowly teaching her to lotion herself but she doesnt quite get the hang of it just yet.
@athenia823, Hehe yeah. We just kind of make like daily routines a “ lesson “ kind of thing but like in a fun way where shes learning but enjoying it. You just have to be consistent about it. Right now we are trying to teach her manners like saying hello, please, thank you, excuse me, sorry, and to give hugs when saying goodbye😅
My 3 year old some times washes himself, but I don't expect much of it so he doesn't do a great job yet. He's more interested in playing and washing what ever random toy he brings in so I just do it quick at the end. When I'm really lazy I put him in the shower with me and he gets to play while I clean myself then he helps me clean himself.
My son only put up a little fight but this one squeezed it's legs folded underneath it's bottom so now we have to wait 4 more weeks for the anatomy scan.

As in bathe alone? Or just wash themselves while you supervise?

Ps- I love listening to him shower because he sings his ABCs and I think it’s adorable 😂

@doubleksmommy, we got the suction cup shower head holder so it’s on his level and it made a world of difference.
