I need your advice

I have a 2 year old son who is very attached and clingy to me. He sees my nakedness when I'm having my shower, and when getting dressed. Sometimes, he says things like mummy's breast and pointing. I can't close the bathroom's door against him as is just me and him most of the time. Please, is it wrong to be exposing him to my nakedness? At what age do I stop him from seeing me being nakedness? Thank you

Is it possible to take a shower before he wakes up? Maybe give him a toy to play with to take the focus off yourself? I myself have a son around the same age and I’ve started to cover up more due to personal convictions but pray and seek the Lord about how you can start to build up some privacy. I understand it can be hard

Honestly, it’s fine to normalize and talk to your child about those things. You do not have to sexualize them for them so early and young. It’s not a sin to be naked or for your child to notice your Anatomy. It actually helps them to be less sensitive to it. the appropriate time to stop nudity around children is when either you or the child show signs of discomfort or embarrassment. Other than that, children are very curious children and innocent. Adults are the sinners and perverted ones.

In my opinion yes it is wrong. Especially since he is a boy. You should teach him about boundaries. Like when he tries to go or follow say no no mom is changing. And try to keep him busy. Give him a tablet or block his view but keep your eye on him. I would suggest no sharing showers and try to cover up. That way he knows about respecting himself and others especially naked. Hope this helps!

You can start by teaching him boundaries. Privacy, please. Mummy needs some time alone and she will be with yo soon. Can you sing for mummy? I taught my little one-year-old privacy when she was 1 year old and anytime I go into the bathroom she shuts the door and says “Privacy for mummy “ 💜

My kids are different ages and still innocently associates my booboobs with comfort and closeness. You don't spend all that time bonding as babies & then just forget. Their subconscious, their spirit...it has memories too. It associates the sight of you with warmth and comfort and the days of a tender care...before everything turned into, "No!" and "Don't touch that!" "Put that back" "Be nice" "Mommy said no!" Just like we get nostalgic over certain sights and smells during holidays...our booboobs are nostalgic to our babies, even the school aged ones. Its not a time to make anyone feel weird or shame about it. It's just love to them, something they can't articulate. The world perverts it. But to an innocent child, it's just mama. I hope that helps. 💛

I have to agree with @Crysta , there’s nothing wrong with it at the moment. Even God said we should remain child like to enter the kingdom. In the sense that children are innocent and curious in nature. Heck even Adam and Eve only started to cover up when sin entered and they felt they needed to. I say this to say that we only see things wrong with it because of how we are as adults and how much we know of the world and in that sense we tend to sexualise everything.
