Should 3 yr olds have different gender bathrooms?

I don't think that it is necessary when they are that young. When the kids are 3 and in school, the teacher usually supervises bathroom time so there is really nothing to worry about. Also, at home we don't have gender bathrooms, so why worry about it when the kids are so young.

I don't think having different bathrooms is a big deal. Most 3 year old children probably understand there is a difference there anyways. My daughters started to notice it when I would change their brother's diaper. I guess I don't understand how having different bathroom will effect them. My daughter's preschool was located in her school so even in preschool they used the big kids bathrooms. She never once mentioned the fact that the boys went in a different bathroom.

I think there should be separate bathrooms for boys and girls, no matter what their age is. Its not only about gender difference, a lot of other issues are involved too. the genitals are distinctly different and so is the style of peeing. I would not want little children to become overtly curious about what sticks out from between a boy’s legs or why do girls have to sit while peeing.

I would have to say no. I am not sure at what age is a good time to make seperate restrooms, its a tough question. My son is in kindergarten and they have one restroom and its inside their class room so they dont have to go down the hall or anything. I dont know which grade they switch to the other restrooms but i think its first grade. As for learning gender differences, there are so many other ways they can be taught it, and just the fact that they use different restrooms isnt goiong to teach them all they need to know about it.
