[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My almost 5 year old can more or less dress himself (although clothing sometimes winds up backwards), but it takes him a long time. If we're in a hurry I help him. He can't tie shoes, but he doesn't own any shoes that require tying so I'm not sure what the appropriate age is for that. I don't let him bathe alone yet. [/quote] We let DS shower alone at 5, we could hear what was happening in the bathroom and checked immediately if we heard a thump. We let him takes bath solo now, he is 6, because he is doing well in swimming. We still check with any thump and I pop my head in every few minutes to see if he needs anything or I'll call out to him to see if he needs anything. DS friends started wearing tie shoes in first grade, with varying degrees of success. DS asked about tying shoes so we got him some. [/quote]
