Should I introduce my daughter to her first shower? she will be 4 in dec?

[D Love]

I am a single dad of 2 kids! 1 boy 1 girl. I was wondering if I should intro duce her to her first shower for a time saver! and if I was to do that because she is clumbsy should i shower with her to prevent her from slipping and falling and cracking a skull!! I personally think showers are faster and cleaner!! because your not sitting in your own dirty water!! plus like i said if your in a rush but need to get washed up a shower can be done in 5 or 10 minutes rather than a bath which takes about that to fill it up!! any opinions? and my son is still too young to be left alone in the tub so he isnt ready for the shower yet!!
I understand the whole grabbing thing and curiosity but cant you explain right wrong and parts!! the appropreiate way? Idk maybe it sounds weird i am not trying to be weird! I am just a free spirit and nudity is apart of life!! its not really a sexual thing unless made that way like todays society does!!

My kids have all loved showers - get one of those non-slip rubber mat things for the bottom of the shower!

As for getting in with her - at 4 she can stand quite well on her own - as long as you have the mat thing she will be fine by herself!

As for your son - pick him up and jump in the shower with him in your arms - he will love it & in no time will be happy to stand in the shower by himself - or simply sit him on the shower floor (ie on the non slip mat) when your daughter is in the shower - put a few toys on the shower floor & let him play!)

Her age is fine she can take a shower on her own now as long as she knows how and i know being only dad is hard but taking a shower with her would be moms job(; u can watch her as she takes one tho

I think that it's acceptable for her to shower at this age, just get a bath mat to prevent slippage. I don't think you should shower with her, though.

you can introduce them to showers at any age as long as you are going to be there with them. being she is 4 i would sugest wairing a pair or underpants cause she is every curious at that age and may try to grab you. be carefull while your in there anything like slipping or as small as shampoo in her eyes can make her afraid of the shower. my mother sliped in the shower when she was with my daughter she was only about 18 months and my daughter was not even hit or hurt and it took me over 3 years to get her to shower again.
