Parents : How do you actually include nudity in daily life?

How has your friend progressed?

 

I have two children and well... There's no big mistery to this honestly. I did have my concerns about how to explain that nudity is fine under different contexts, but honestly I was greatfully surprised. My first daughter took to nudism very naturally, she understood that: home OK, grandma's home OK, some places we visit OK, school NOT OK and most importantly friend's homes NOT OK, without me having to explain the 'hows' and 'whys' like I had to with many random stuff during her why stage.

My secnod is still very little but she's going on the same direction. Being a nudist myself just growing up with a daily image of their naked mother is enough to naturalize nudity and it's quite simple and not complicated at all. No conversations, no talks about "naturism theory" non any of those shenanigans many people, including myself as I was pregnant with my first overthought about.

 

Being a nudist family I am sure your children will grow up with a more body positive attitude. This in the long run is going to make them more confident in life.

 

I have no doubts about that given it is myself having been a nudist child once.

 

As parents we often have no issues with our kids being naked and us being naked in front of them early in their lives, for many that somehow suddenly changes and we hide from each other. I think its very silly. At home I just never changed my behaviour around family and did not ask anyone to change their behaviour. Nudity is natural, nothing to be ashamed of and certainly nothing you have to hide from your loved ones.
My own parents have a different view, so the bigger challenge actually was to teach the difference when nudity is suitable without bothering people who might not like it.
Visiting Nude beaches also helped a lot showing, its a normal thing for many people and nut just us.

Missed that post...

But the last time we talked about it (she was let go from our job and we gradually lost touch), it had evolved to casual nudity around the house. She mentioned that interacting while nude with her son had become commonplace; either in the morning before getting dressed and heading out, or in the evening after bath/shower before going to bed. Both were comfortable with it and she liked the "bonding."

I'd invited her to come over to my place so her son and my daughter could play clothesfree (they were around the same age); but she didn't want to take it that far (social nudity). Casual nudity works a lot better for some people than home-nudism.

 

For some it is just a bunch of "baby steps" before getting completely comfortable.

 

This is the way.

There is no "process." Just be nude. Most kids just follow along. Mine haven't, but that's their choice.

You are right that the only thing to discuss is the "OK vs. NOT OK." You don't have to get into the theory of nudism.

 

Nudity was never an issue in our house. We didn't go naked at home for extended periods of time, but if we saw each other naked in the hallway or in a room while changing it just wasn't a big thing. I remember my mom and dad walking down the hallway naked while getting ready for work and sometimes we would stop and talk for a bit, but it was never embarassing or uncomfortable which made me comfortable with nudity now.

 

When I was growing up, nudity was not an issue. My parents were nude sleepers, and I saw them and my older sister naked every day. We didn't run around the house naked; most of our nudity was associated with sleeping and bathing. My exposure to family nudity when growing up is probably why, as an adult, I chose to live a nudist lifestyle.

 

I think that definitely helps one to grow up with a healthy feeling about your body and other people's bodies

 

We've let our children stay naked at home since they no longer need diapers. We also told the kindergarten and school that we're nudists. This was helpful in case the children say something or draw something that might be misunderstood. It also allowed other parents to decide whether their children could come to us and possibly undress.

 

I sleep nude and let them if they want to. We also have some casual days, depending on plans and expected visitors.

 

It sounds like your family was simply a group of humans going through life. Lol.

Too many people overthink things. You sometimes see the question "How should I be nude around my family?" Just do it. Just be nude. Let everyone discover what's comfortable to them.

 

This is a great approach. Just live your lives. When you need to wear clothes, then wear clothes. If you want to let go and be casual, then be casual.
