I don't have a problem with it and neither does she but we have always;
Bathed her in her bathroom and brought her into her dressing room to put pjs on, then we sit on the floor in there and dry hair,plait it, put on cream etc. I was just thinking this evening that she is 7 now so should I slowly start leaving her to do this herself or would it be best to help her with the hair dryer and then plait her hair and leave her do the rest (which she does anyway) really I just stay with her.
It is a nice bonding time anyway so as I say I don't mind doing it wit her...but should I start stepping back a bit?

What do you all do after bath with 7 yr olds??

No, I made a lighthearted joke about your daughter being like a character from Downton Abbey.

My DD is 13 and she loves me to dry/straighten her hair.

Lovely chatting time.

Do what works for you OP.

I would just wait until she says she wants to do it herself x
