Getting changed for gym at Kindergarten

[Gipfeli]

ds (4.5) tells me that he has to take his pants off when getting changed for gym at Kindergarten (we're in Switzerland if that's relevant).

Do we think this is normal? I appreciate he's only 4 and the story may not be entirely accurate but I thought I'd ask you all what you think?

He's not especially bothered about it btw, he just told me about it in a matter of fact way one evening along with his other news.

We are in Switzerland too- all 4 dcs been through Kindergarten- no pants off!

Whereabouts are you?

Basel.

I thought it seemed odd, if only logistically. Surely it's enough faff getting the children changed as it is without adding more complications of removing underwear!

One would think so! Although it's just occurred to me that my three older ones have to have communal showers after gym now.

The Swiss definitely don't seem to bother much about keeping themselves to themselves as far as bods are concerned. Me- I'm a prude and I'd rather not see, thanks A lot of girls doing ballet take off their pants too- even the smallest ones.
