[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on how capable the kid is and it's none of your business. Also, Americans are literally the only ones in the world this uptight about kids seeing other kids naked. Could it be that your child's classmate's mom was from a different country? [/quote]

Considering the boy had a "turtleneck" I would assume she's European, but I did not say anything to her so I'm not sure.[/quote]

I have literally never ever ever noticed whether a child is circumcized in a locker room.  EVER. I haven't looked at their genitals that closely or for that long.  Also, in some STATES in America there is a very low circ rate (Washington is only 15% circ, Nevada is 12%) and more than 25% of boys in MD and VA aren't.  So I definitely wouldn't come to the conclusion that this is a European thing.

I think around 7 is when typically developing kids should be able to manage on their own in the locker room but that said....my daughter would be embarrassed if she saw a classmate of the same gender naked in the locker room (she's 12) so to some degree it's just teaching them to change in private if they feel they want to and not to stare at other kids long enough to tell if they are circumcized or not....[/quote]
