[quote=Anonymous]Not all pools have family changing rooms! Age: when the child can reliably change by him or herself, and alert others if someone is bothering them. That age will vary with the child. My son with motor disabilities could not reliably change in the men's until he was 7. Thankfully he's very small for his age and before that, no one commented at all. I have boys and girls. I'm also European. I don't quite understand why there are threads about this every year on DCUM. Elementary school-aged children do not have the same understanding of nudity as adults. They can stare, but without prurient intent. It may be more harmful for young children's development to verbalize fear in these cases, because they might grow up to be fearful of the opposite sex.
