Kids and nudity
Show your support
I think there would be bigger issues if your daughter went into school and mentioned having been left alone in the shopping centre or supermarket whilst you used the toilet! Not to mention how dangerous that would be. I also fear that it's teaching children shame about their own bodies. We don't walk around naked and I do try to encourage the younger children to let me go to the bathroom alone at home and get out of my bedroom when I'm getting changed, but in public there's often no avoiding it.
Your husband is wrong!! I have two boys and they ask all sorts of questions, kids are curious. I don’t walk round naked or anything but if they need the toilet while I’m in the shower or vice versa then I don’t see a problem. Are you supposed to be ashamed of your pubes or the fact that your daughter knows you have them 🤷♀️. My ex (my eldests dad) taught our child that he shouldn’t touch his willy and I spent years correcting that as he refused to wash it or anything and now he has to go see a specialist to possibly be circumcised. It’s a sensitive situation but if you handle it wrong it’s the kid that suffers
My 2 kids (nearly 5 &3) will see me naked, when in & out the shower, when I’m getting dressed. We have the bathroom door open, so they will often see their dad also in the shower. I don’t see a problem with it at all. I want them to feel comfortable in their own home. Tbh they don’t bat an eyelid, they also know about their own bodies parts, as well as when it’s my time of the month. They need to learn from somewhere and I’d rather teach my own children about it. And that’s there is no shame in it! X
But he is wrong!!!! She will understand her body growing up by seeing you My daughter sees me with no clothes on all the time. She helps me wash my hair in the bath sometimes. During potty training, she was always in the bathroom with me when I went to the toilet as this is a good way to help kids understand this. I have a very open and honest relationship with my daughter so we talk about everything when she asks (obviously at her level)
I work in a school and wouldn't have any particular concerns if a child told me this given the context.
Oh my gosh! This is quite damaging. I grew up seeing my mum naked so aware all bodies are different from a young age. I don’t understand why your husband is so against it? It’s totally normal! I would hate for my daughter to be confused growing up and not knowing what was happening etc. you carry on! Ignore your husband!
