When my boy was six, he started asking to use the men's room. (I think it started when he went to kindergarten, and a big deal was made about boys using the boy's rom and girls using the girl's room.) Depending on the location, I let him sometimes and other times I insist he goes to the women's room with me. When he is in the men's room alone, we always have a running conversation. For the most part, it's me saying "are you okay" and him saying "I'm fine, mom!" every few seconds, but he also sometimes informs me just what part of the process he is involved in "Mom, I'm wiping right now!"
One time when he was about six he used a men's restroom with me standing outside talking to him, and an older gentlemen came out and told me what a good job I was doing with him. Apparently, between his responses to me, he turned to the man and said "That's my mom out there. She loves me."
