I personally disagree with everyone of you. That is one thing that 8 years old should be independent but if they are not and they need your help then not helping them (in bathing or whatever) is more of a bad parenting than avoid seeing them naked. You cant punish them for being 8 years old and expect them to be independent at the expense of you not helping them at all. 8 years old is still a child and if he/she needs your help then he/she needs your help, you cant dump your kid in the bathroom just because you have certain standards of how old he/she needs to be before you cant see them naked.

Before you want your kids to grow up, you should grow up.

I disagree with this. Point here is not if your child can or can’t take shower at 8 yrs. Its about teaching your kids things at certain age that they’ll have to take care of or learn in preparation to the next step.

My SIL has a 5 year old who is always in diapers. Now she can say oh its easy for her and who cares she is jsut a child and my child who I am comfortable changing etc. I think at 5 her little girl should be fully potty trained.

Its not about shoving your kids in the shower and saying you go do it doesn’t matter you know how to do it or not. Bachay ko 8 saal ka hona hain aik din to pehlay se hi kyon nahi ahista ahista training di jaey to do things on their own. Specially taking showers, being potty trained etc. I don’t think I’ll like the idea of my husband giving shower to my girl at that age. Its just weird. Although it may not be too common but some girls hit puberty by that age. Imagine that.
