At what age (of your child), should you stop letting them see you with nothing on?
My wife and I have a 2 year old and this is a topic of debate.
I say about 4.
It is what you are doing while you are (or for that matter aren't) undressed that does or doesn't sexualize the nudity irregardless of gender. If other people admittedly and automatically associate adjectives nudity with sex they are opening the door for adjectives sorts of perversions.
In other words a lot of people just can't go and get their minds out of the gutter so they are forcing prudence on family and others as a consequence to avoid their own disguising thoughts that they obviously have difficulty controlling. Please don't drill your child to demonize nudity, right now it's simple and pure and natural to them once society get a hold of their minds it will attempt to induce shame & disgust with simultaneous traces of obsession & guilt. Essentially teaching the child/individuals mind to covet a forbidden fruit which surrounded by reality is natural and shouldn't be contorted into a perversion.
Instead teach the child to respect their own body and the bodies of others this will result surrounded by a neutral harmony with state of undress.
Eh, just depends on you family and your morale. 2 is still fine, they don't notice, care, or remember. I still change within front of my 7 yr old, not 100% nude but down to underwear. He could care less. Truthfully, the more of an issue you engineer of it the more they will pay attention. The human body is natural and nothing to be ashamed of.
I think you should follow your child's ques. When he starts to seem uncomfortable near it, then stop. My daughter is 8 and my son is 3 and they both still see me naked. To them it just seem normal. Now, obviously, my daughter doesn't see my husband naked and you can bet my son won't be seeing me unclothed when he's that age. At some point, they just start phasing it out. I think, as they get elder, a lot of it depends on the genders of the child/parent as to what is or is not acceptable.
At the age of 2, at hand is no harm in a child seeing either of his parents with nothing on.
Same sex parent, doesn't matter really. I mean, it's the same body parts right? Opposite sex parents, 3 or 4 I don`t know. I don't think it's anything you should make a big deal out of. Just start one more discrete and showering/changing with the door closed.
I think it is age dependent. If you own been really observing your child, you will notice the 1st time they look at you body surrounded by a different way & you notice there's some unsettling question down those eyes.
For me, it happened when my daughter was 3 & my son was 2. They have walked into the bathroom while a was changing my feminine protection. My daughter be very scared for me bleeding from my "gentiles" ( her word for genitals). In my best 3 y.o. dialog, I had to explain why she should not be panicky for me. Her brother was by her side.
You can't mention why you have a period lacking "baby making" coming up. Brief little talk. Their fears were calmed & they disappeared. That was when I new. Now if they see me or my husband it will bring up other questions that could be fear-provoking for them at that age. ( I hadn't mentioned about the pieces fitting together in the talk.)
I needed them to learn more about their own bodies over time and keep calculation the sex information in parts as they became age appropriate. Too much information too fast can alarm a child or make them resent their body parts.
When my daughter was age 11, I was shutting past its sell-by date her bedroom light after she fell asleep. As the moon shone through the window, I noticed something shiny on her chest. On both nipples. I go to wipe it off thinking cellophane stuck to her & I didn't want these little pieces being inhaled in her sleep. They be stuck tight. I turned on the light for a good look and it was cellophane cassette. That would hurt if I pulled it off so I gently woke her & said, "Honey you have some cartridge on you & we need to get it off in a minute or it will hurt in the morning." She sleepily responded, "No. I put them there so my titties won't get as big as yours. I won't be capable of play with the boys if I get big titties." (My little tom-boy). I didn't want to laugh at her but unloved to break the news, "Honey, that's not going to stop them from growing. They will get as big as they grow. Now let's get the cartridge off." (It was sweet she was trying to protect my emotional state by not saying she thought mine were too big. She'd been tape them for a week.)
See? You never know what secret body issues they have & are scared to discuss to you about. Her issue was not wanted to upset me about my body. (I'd hate to think if my son have same issues about his size after seeing dad.)
So watch those eyes. Let child be as comfortable with human form until you see it cause concern. And it wouldn't be a big telling look. Just a hint of something in the eyes. If you start presently, keep it casual. Tell them these are you private parts & you like to save the door closed. But not freak out if they walk in on you. Casually grab a clothing item to place within front of you but keep looking at them as still listening to what they have to speak.
They should understand "private" as a modesty, not a dire breach in the fabric of the house.
Right about now is a good time. My daughter is 3, and Im a single mom so sometimes when I hold a shower I will leave the door open so I can watch them play surrounded by the room - and now she sometimes comes and points out my body parts and makes remarks like "ew i see your butt!" lol or "i see your boobs!" lol its funny at first but its chance because at that age they start remembering things... 2 years sounds like perfect time to stop.
No age. Nudity will never become a big issue if you never make it one. Our family is particularly open and our kids have seen us their total lives so it is no big deal. In fact my oldest (12 years old) was flashed by a guy within her school last year. The other two girls with her freaked out and run away my daughter just made fun of him. She even got the rest of the kids to call him "Pinkie" to the point where on earth I had to go and talk to the principal and the other kids parents. It be fun explaining to them why she was calling him that.
It is sad that people manufacture such a huge issue about our natural bodies. I think specifically the reason for a lot of the teen sex issues; they lack erudition and want to satisfy their curiosity.
Answers: Your child will let you know when it is no longer appropriate. When kids start getting modest, they tolerate you know. My 4 year old still showers with me. We don't believe in fostering body representation issues in our children so we don't make a big deal something like nudity. It depends on your feelings on the topic. If you think starkness is bad, hide it, I suppose.
You should never permit your children stop seeing you naked! Me and my husband still have sex with the door instigate even though are kids at 33, 27 and 23. I'm not sure why they haven't moved out yet, but we do have a very close familial.
At two, it's time that your child should stop seeing the opposite sex parent naked. For example if you have a son, afterwards he should stop seeing mummy naked and same as a daughter with daddy. At this age, they start noticing the differences between gender and are also old enough to start understanding modesty.
However, it is appropriate for one and the same sex parent to be seen naked by the kids (mummy and daughter for example) for a few more years after the age of 2. My opinion is until in the region of 4 or 5.
This question was posted her not long ago and alot of the answers steered towards about 6 years weak on average for same sex parents and children.
i think you should stop rite now b/c this is the age they will start remembering things that happen in this part of their life.
I agree with Andy, about 4 years old.
Though my girls be 2 when I stopped them going into the bathroom when their Dad was having a bath.
I also suppose its different for girls, I don't have a problem with my girls sitting chatting to me while I'm in the hip bath after all one day they are going to have what I hold and I don't want my children to think their bodies are something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.
If my son and fiance are out together and use a public toilet, I don't see a problem next to that either
However, I still bath all of my kids together which will hold to stop soon I guess as my son is 7 now.
doesnt event he will always remember that.
i would enunciate 4 or MAYBE 5. but why bother getting into the habit anyways? just start now.
About 4 years old-fashioned.
