I think some kids just do that. It's something to do. My friend's kid once pulled his pants and diaper down in church and started walking around. Just need to teach them not to do it.
-
many kids go through that , my first 3 did my later two did not ( I think the later two did not because they saw cloths on their older sibelings, I think the first three did because they saw their sibelings pulling their cloths off. eventually they outgrow it, however, it can cause you a little embarrasment in public at times.

All my kids did that too, especially my two boys - they did that more than my daughter did. Literally, we'd get home from picking them up from school and they'd take off their shoes, coats, then take off their shirts and pants. We'd always have to tell them to keep their clothes on. I just figured it was just something kids do (especially boys) - because I remembered growing that my brother always walked around in his underwear.

Unless they're taking their clothes off in public, I don't see why you should be concerned. They're children - who cares if they want to run around and play in the nude? They obviously haven't yet "learnt" the concept that some people have that nudity is disgusting and something to be ashamed of. Why not embrace their innocence while they still have it?

What is the problem?

My 3 year old loves being naked, its not in my opinion, a problem. She is in her own house or garden, and shes only 3 so we are not offended! My son loves running round bare chested even when its not too hot outside, its all fine! Lighten up and dont worry so much. If they become teenagers and start running round the shopping mall in the nude then theres a problem!!

Not only children my brother in the summer walks round his house in just his boxers,he was telling me that a tv repairman was coming so he got dressed as the repair man was leaving his little girl piped up "you can take your clothes off now daddy" my brother said he nearly died what must have been running through the repairmans head.

They can't be arrested for indecent exposure til puberty. I think time will take care of your "problem."

You didn't say how old your kids are. If they are under school-age, no problem. If they are pre-pubescent, may be time to start having them stay dressed. If they are in high school, your problems are just beginning!!

ou don't mention their ages, but in general it's fine. Don't, I say DON'T make a big thing of it.

If they are older than 16 it might be a good idea to have them put on a tee-shirt...

Most children are nudists starting about the time they learn how to take off their clothes. They develop some sense of modesty about age 4, but I've known some who waited until they were probably 9 or 10 before developing that. *shrug* I wouldn't let my child run around nude in public after a certain age, but even many adults prefer to be nude in private or for sleeping, and it's not going to hurt anyone. And definitely not going to screw anyone up, just to be naked. My three year old showed up this morning about 9:30 nude, having removed her clothing, and refused to replace them until we went out about 6:30. The only thing I try to limit is her touching herself and then eating without washing her hands.

I used to walk around naked as a child and my daughter has a habit of doing it in the house but I am encourging her to wear something more and more and i let her swim naked but i moniter her. I dont let her just run around anywhere like that. Too many sick people.

Kids are just goofy like that. I wouldn't take it too seriously. They certainly don't...
-
your kids playing in the nude is natrual and fine as long as its not in public, letting them sleep naked didnt mess them up..dont worry kids find it comfortable sleeping and playing in the nude
-
I don't think you screwed them up at all. I think you simply sent a mixed message that can be repaired by explaining to them when they can be naked and why or why not.

Children have only a short amount of time to be innocent.I have been so blessed to have three kids. First two were boys that are 3.5 years apart. Eight years later or little girl joined the family. The younger two enjoyed being nude a bit more than the oldest. As long as children are not somewhere they are exposed naked to the public or playing somewhere that is potentially a hazard to their privates, (ex.sitting on sharp items, being exposed to poison ivy oak)they are only little once. Being uninhibited and innocent are golden, and short lived.Why would a parent try so hard to keep their baby's from being nude? They learn early enough that clothes are not an option. Little ones that are happy to run nude are beautiful. The parents who let them enjoy nudity while they are uninhibited by their body's are beautiful as well. You have not screwed up your kids, quite the contrary.

ya know what, i thought bout this when my brothers kid had a phase like that. i think that when a kid is little they want to be naked because there is no stigma to it and its more comfortable. i say let em! just make sure not to let them do it in the following places: church, a fine resteraunt, giant eagle, or your fathers 60th birthday party...
