Anyone with a boy and a girl?

My rule of thumb is that they should be separated when the older one is old enough for school. Some kids notice the differences really early on, but I don't think that just because they notice they're different means they have to be separated, especially if they're really young. My daughter is almost four and I bathe her 8-month-old brother with her all the time and occasionally the 5-year-old brother still gets in with them.

My son & daughter are 5 in february and they bath together told them ages ago about being different. As long as they like bathing together i'll keep it that way.

i used school age as my guide for mine. up until then they knew that they had different parts and the proper names of them but we summed it up as "girl /boy bits" if they ask questions its ok to answer them. We had to explain that you wash your own 'bits' and its not appropriate to touch the other persons, but you can touch your own when you have alone time (for my son).

My brother and I have the same age difference and I remember bathing with him till around 7 or so. never was sexual or weird.

my children are the same age, and they still bathe together, i too, think it mostly depends on the children, when they start fighting, or asking questions its def. time to split them up. but untill they they should be fine.

hi, I have a 5 year old son and an almost 3 year old daughter. I started to spearate them in the bath tub when my son started asking questions about the private parts. this was about 6 months ago now, they have been taking it in turns ever since. I personally think it depends on the individual child(ren) and you will probably know when the time is right for your family. Hope this helps.

i had baths with my brother and cousin until i was probably 7 or something. totally normal. they're just kids.

my daughter is four in april and my son is three in about four days, they usually bath together. They are both fully aware that they are different and are aware that we have a "hands off" policy. As for them seeing each other, rarely are they paying any attention to that in bath, too much fun with bubbles and toys. I will probably start separating them when she turn five or six, mostly because she is now the height of an average five or six years old and only getting taller, soon there won't be room.

My daughter is 5 and my son will be three in 2 days . They still bath together sometimes. She is fully aware of their parts being different and have never had a problem with them,although my son seems to not want her in the tub with him. So on occasion they do bathe together . You will know when it is time to seperate.

My children are the same ages opposite sexes. I plan to seperate them when she begins to ask why baby brother doesn't look like her.

My eldest daughter is nearly 5 and son nearly 3,they still bath together. My daughter only showed curiosity when we brought her brother home, i explained boys and girls have different ones ant thats been it! i think once she is around 7 or 8 shell want her own privacy if not before, until then no harm! On the other hand my one year old girl wont leave him alone if they bath trying to grab him so she has baths to herself!

My daughter is 4 1/2 and my son is 3, I have taught them their body parts so they have known for a long while that they are diff in that area, but my daughter hit the "liking her own privacy " stage about 6 mo's ago..she came to me and asked me if she could take shower by herself since she was a big girl now(she started school)...I would have to say when your oldest child reaches the age of 4 or so..I like to call it the start of independence age..lol

My Son is 5 and my Daugther is 2. I think my son was 4 and she turned 2 i think is when i started them in ther own bath, You will know when they need to be in htere own bath. But when they ask about the missing body part that his sister does not have it's time to put them in there own bath.

my daughter will be 3 next month and my son is 1 1/2 and they still have a bath together...the ped told me that its fine until the oldest starts to ask questions about why he/she has different "things" than her/his brother/sister... i hope this helps a little bit
