I think it is age approiate as well. i have several 0children 6,8,9,11 now the 11 yr old boy marcus i can leave him to it. my eldest daughter sara aged 9 is pretty good but i still go into the bathroom now and then to make sure shes washing properly. my other two children i stay in the bathroom with them as they havnt quite got the hang of it. i wash their hair and also their back including their bottoms as they cant reach properly
