My ds is a couple of months shy of 7 and has never been in the mens washroom by himself. I travel alone with my son often as my dh is usually working and never travels.
I can tell you we are probably at least a couple of yrs away from solo bathroom visits. He has a number of issues that make it not possible for him to do this, these 'disabilities' are not physical and therefore not obvious to others.
I ask that if you are on the other side of this debate that you stop and consider there may be a very good reason for a 7-10 yr old boy to be in the womans washroom (besides his personal safety which is also important). Because I know my son would be very hurt and humiliated if someone made a rude remark/comment.
I don't know why we are so quick to judge others and their views, when we haven't walked in their shoes.
