Nudity and Children in the Home

It all depends on the culture. I have a German friend who "raised the family nude," so to speak. They all went nude swimming, took nude saunas together, etc. Now the kids don't think twice about seeing someone nude, male or female, young or old. I don't think there should be a problem with nudity. The only reason why it would scar a kid for life is because of what we, as society, have turned it into.

I think that is disgusting. I do not think that is right at all for a parent to do something like that in front of a child or anyone for that matter. I do not think children should feel like they can show the world their body at anytime either. That is sacred.

I would love to be the boy to see Hilary Swank in the buff.

Anyway, on a serious note, my friend told me she walks around naked in the house and both her daughter and son have got used to it. Things are as if natural. Whether this will rub upon the children when the grow up is hard to tell.

Personally, I am a prude and would not do a Hilary Swank in front of my kids.

I believe there should be modesty in a household. This doesn't mean horror because your son/daughter walked in on you changing clothes, but it means not parading around nude.

When my sons were little I let them run around nude--they wouldn't keep their clothes on, anyway! By the time they were 3 they wanted to wear clothes most of the time because I didn't make a big deal out of their nudity. They'd occasionally catch their dad and I changing clothes but that was no big deal either, we didn't convey a sense of panic put just calmly asked them to leave and let us finish.

The result is two healthy adult men who are modest but not ashamed of their bodies.

As for Swank, I think age 6 is a little old to be exposed to nudity on a regular basis. Why is he coming into the bedroom every morning? Teach him to knock on the door, let him develop a sense of privacy and consideration for others and in turn learn that he might like some, too.

It's usually a cultural thing or how you were raised. I think it's probably seen as less acceptable because it's not her child. If it were her own son, it wouldn't be as weird.

That said, I find it a bit odd. I suppose at six he doesn't really understand, but he's getting to the age where she should probably be a bit more careful.

What I find really, really odd is that she's silly enough to admit this to the press. She's not new to the fame game. She must realise that people would have a field day with this and that any candid or unusual confessions will be blown way out of proportion.

Hi mzz

This is really weird, it might not be for those people but it is so ridiculous honestly, here if in my place if some does something like that, they will be looked down upon by the society... i don't think it is right in anyway, this has got to hinder with that kids thinking and morality, i mean it would become so weird when he grows up.

have a nice day mzz!

Actually, at his age, I am thinking that it will numb him down. He will come to think of the female body as natural and won't be aroused just by seeing some skin. I actually don't think that's a bad thing. Maybe just maybe when he gets older he will look at a woman for who she is and not for her body. Not sure that I'm right here at all but I seriously don't think the human body is anything we should be ashamed of or covering.
