I allow my five year old to shower by himself before school. However, I brush his teeth and give him a good wash down after playground the previous day evening.

My child started showering herself at 5 and I will make sure to rinse her after that to ensure to soap residues are left behind

Yes but with supervision as they might slip. But good to develop this habit

Yeah, they already started to. I make sure they clean any soap residue

Just have to keep an eye just in case

To some extent but not completely
