Navigating Bath Time Boundaries With My Eight-Year-Old

Tonight, as I helped my eight-year-old with their bath, I found myself reflecting on how much this routine has changed over the years. When they were little, bath time was all giggles and splashes, but now, it’s a delicate balance between giving them independence and making sure they’re actually clean. Sometimes, I wonder if I’m hovering too much or not enough. It’s a bittersweet reminder of how quickly they’re growing up. I try to respect their privacy while still being there for the moments they need help. Every family seems to handle this transition differently, and I’d love to hear how others approach bath time with older kids. How do you know when it’s time to step back?
