Modesty and Privacy
Your seven year old daughter has become a lot more modest lately and is requesting some privacy.
She closes the door when she goes to the bathroom and changes, wants to shower and take a bath alone, and likes to spend time alone in her room.
On the other hand, at other times it seems like she has forgotten all of this and still wants to take a bath with her younger sisters, etc.
You are a little confused about the best way to handle things...
A good friend of yours went through the same thing recently with her son and didn't handle it well, as he is now too modest, and won't even let the doctor examine him when he is sick!
You are also concerned about how to balance her need for privacy with your need to keep her safe when she is unsupervised, since she has a phone, Internet, and TV in her room.
