Hi @Dadman,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately there isn't a straight answer. Parenting decisions are really nuanced, complex and depend on a whole range of contextual factors. One thing to consider is consent. How do your children feel about showering together? If you feel concerned or are not sure how to navigate this situation with your children, we recommend reaching out to your local health professional. Alternatively, you can chat to a service like ParentLine if you'd like support for parenting concerns more immediately.
