Hilary Swank recently revealed that she walks around nude in front of her boyfriend's 6-year-old son. Is this promoting body acceptance or damaging for the kid? Link: http://parenting.ivillage.com/gs/gsfamdynamics/0,,g3cr45qm,00.html?nlcid=in|10-13-2009|

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.

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.

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.

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!
