So on the Doctors Show, they were saying that parents should stop showering with there kids when it starts getting inappropriate such as curiosity. But what age is a good age? Also, did your parents ever let you see them naked? Personally, I do not see how this is even appropriate. It seems like it would be all akward and weird. Is it weird for a father and son to see each other naked, even going into the teen years? What conditions would make it appropriate?

5 or 6 years old at the maximum i'd say, anything past that would just be creepy :P

As for me, my parents didn't let me see them naked, but accidents happen.
To answer your other question, the only time it wouldn't be weird for a son and father to see each other naked, when the son is a teen, is if the son and father are like at a locker room somewhere getting changed or something like that.

I shower with my dad a lot at the YMCA, but in a regular shower at home I think it would be weird any time after the kid was able to shower on their own.

I think you shouldnt be paranoid about it (you dont want to send the message that being naked is a bad thing) but i dont think showering regularly after like 4 or 5 would be a good thing. But if situations (gym, hotel, beach shower, low on hot water and the quick switch, or if you got a wound on your back and needs washing) you shouldnt see it as a bad thing but it shouldnt be something that happens regularly.

I'd say five should be the cutoff. Or, whenever the kid can properly bathe for themselves without serious risk of injury. It may be a much larger number in the case of children with special needs. My mother is not the most modest of people, and has actually walked around a hotel naked before (I'm pretty sure she was drunk too...) so she thinks me seeing her naked is perfectly fine - I beg to differ. I've seen my father naked once or twice, by accident, and my parents haven't seen me in the nude since I was a very little girl, though my mother would force me to change and even shave my pubes in front of her until I was about eleven. Parents should never do that to a child. It's so degrading.

I would say that the age when the kid starts realizing what sex,penis,vagina is by then those showers should be gone....And ofc seeing a parent nude is awkward but normal....well hell im a football(REAL EUROPEAN FOOTBALL) player im used to naked people in showers :P We even had a crazy guy that would just show his dick of at school xD

Showering togeather probably around 5ish, but seeing each other naked no age what so ever, we're family it doesn't matter. It might be a little bit awkward but they made me so in my eyes it doesn't mater.

I don't believe children should be showering with their parents at all. I always thought that parents were supposed to bathe babies and toddlers, and teach them how to do it themselves. As they got older then kids would progress to taking showers.

Maybe it's just me.

When you can put them in the shower by themselves, and they don't drown.
