Hydrocortisone is a steroid medication that treats inflammation in the body. The drug comes in an oral form to take by mouth, and a topical form to apply to the skin.
Some kids ask to be left alone as early as 5 or 6; others enjoy having your company until they start approaching puberty, closer to 9 or 10. Bathing alone, however, can be risky because of drowning dangers, and it can take just a few seconds for even older kids to slip and drown in only a few inches of water.
But I think it is more an opinion than anything, there is no right or wrong answer...unless your kids were like 12 then I would say thats wierd lol. But whatever you and your children are more comfortable with, just try not to make it too much of a habit, otherwise they will not want to bathe by themselves.
