Similarly, somewhere between ages 4 and 8, most children begin to develop a sense of modesty about their own bodies and a corresponding discomfort with seeing their parents’ naked bodies.” Casual nudity may be fine and good when your little ones are little, but at some point, you might notice a difference in their comfort level — and yours. There are a number of reasons you might want to be naked in front of your kids — and an equal number of reasons you might choose a modicum of modesty. I’ve been very open with my daughter, and it helped open the door for questions she might have about her developing body,” says Sue from Massachusetts.

This is a normal part of development — you just need to be aware and respectful of what your child is trying to express. As with all things parenting-related, just when you think you have something sorted out, it changes. 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.Bartell has a different, more Freudian take on this: “Little boys aren’t sexual, but there is an Oedipal thing that happens at some point around 5-ish,” she says. Two babies later, my body is not what my daughter sees in magazines and billboards,” says Haley, a mom of two from New York City.

Some pediatricians and pediatric dermatologists recommend fully-naked play as a way to heal or prevent diaper rash. And when it comes to potty-training, certain methods advise letting your toddler run around bare-bottomed, arguing that the uncomfortable sensation of urine on her bare legs will motivate her to get to the toilet. It led to some interesting discussions, but she also didn’t freak out when she started growing pubic hair because she knew it was normal.” Con: Boundaries can get blurred For example, there’s never a reason to poke and prod a parent’s privates. And at some point, it’s a good idea to have rules about not barging into a bedroom or bathroom. 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).

It’s a surprisingly controversial question that parents often don’t realize is even controversial until they talk to other parents who do things differently. Both sides have generally given it a lot of thought, theorizing about what’s psychologically helpful and harmful. While some parents may choose to start covering up when that happens — especially when the child in question isn’t the same sex as you — you can also use this as a teaching moment and defuse the situation with a matter-of-fact, anatomically correct comment. Even physically modest parents can destigmatize nudity by not rushing to cover up if their child inadvertently sees them,” says Huebner. “Instead, calmly say something along the lines of ‘I prefer to be alone when I am using the bathroom’ or ‘I’ll talk to you when I am dressed,’ without making a big deal out of the encounter.”

Napping, especially power napping (20 to 30 minute bursts of shut-eye), has multiple benefits, from improving productivity to decreasing stress. But… READ MORE The bottom line: There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to parental nudity, but whatever you decide will involve some degree of boundary setting. 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.” 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.

Jonathan, a New Jersey dad who never treated nudity as a big deal in his house so it became “natural,” followed this maxim — and his daughters’ lead. 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. Haley, for example, feels very differently about her husband’s nudity, and he’s never been fully undressed in front of their daughter. 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. Babyhood is primetime for sensory integration, especially when it comes to the skin. Letting a baby discover her body and environment through her bare skin is a great way to support this learning. Movement

While other families may instead opt to talk about body safety in different situations, there’s something to be said for that kind of clarity, says Susan Bartell, PsyD, a New York-based child and parenting psychologist. The official term for becoming sensitized to our environment is “ sensory integration”—the ability to understand the information we take in through our senses and use it to function.Huebner says the issue is mainly about children starting to view genitals as explicitly sexual organs.
