About this deal

On the flip side, you also need to respect your children when they no longer want to be naked in front of you. This is a normal part of development — you just need to be aware and respectful of what your child is trying to express. After all, if you have a baby or toddler, it’s next to impossible to go to the bathroom or take a shower alone… unless you enjoy endless screaming or worrying whether they’re going to hurt themselves (or destroy the house).

Bartell suggests simply wearing underwear when in front of your kids, or even getting the message across by wearing a bathing suit without a big T-shirt over it: “Then your child can still see you’re embracing your body.”

Where movement is concerned, this study showed that babies, whether new or experienced walkers, walked best when naked. The researchers think this may be due to the bulkiness of diapers between the legs, and because diaper material wrapped around the legs may limit movement and affect balance. If you’re very clear what the boundaries are, then that child has no question whatsoever,” she explains, adding that kids don’t have the cognitive ability to understand nuance. “It is never OK to see an adult man naked — that is clear for that child.” Then, as kids get older, boundaries aren’t always their forte. Says mom-of-two Brigette, “They keep barging into the bathroom, so why not?” Con: You’re going to get awkward comments, questions, and stares When parents begin to get uncomfortable and when they begin to actively question whether nudity is still OK, that’s a sign that it is no longer feeling OK and parental nudity should be phased out,” says Huebner.

It’s harder for it to resolve itself if they don’t have clear boundaries. If a child isn’t at the point where he’s registering your body, I think [nudity is] fine. The problem is, you don’t know when that’s going to shift.” You might get questions about the “fur” down there or why certain body parts are “floppy.” It will likely take you off-guard and make you blush. Both Huebner and Bartell agree that you need to start paying attention to this issue as early as age 5 but that it’s generally a good idea to set some boundaries by 10, at the latest.

Parenting questions?

I think it’s important for her to learn ASAP that there is never a reason for an adult man to not have clothes on around her,” she says. “We just don’t feel like there can be any exceptions.” Letting babies discover their bodies and environment through their bare skin supports sensory integration —the ability to understand the information we take in through our senses.
