I think at home with family at the toddler stage it prefectly okay to get some fresh air. How silly. Of course we wouldn't want big kids running around naked but come on there is a time and a place for everything and we teach our children things at age appropriate stages. <br /><br />This post made me giggle and that's all I was going to say until I read the comments. My kids all get their 'nakie time' at home (not to mention it also helps with potty training and all of my children were potty trained by 20 months) and at the same time we teach them about their bodies and how special they are and slowly transition into a less clothing optional mode.Riahlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08525310321786184469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273022453795427751.post-62033975414886993592010-04-11T18:41:17.325-07:002010-04-11T18:41:17.325-07:00There is a great book out about modesty for young ...There is a great book out about modesty for young children. It is called The Swimsuit Lesson-basically whatever is covered by a bathing suit is what is private and no one should see (besides Mommy and Daddy or whomever you tell is ok). We do not allow any of our children to bare all, and that has allowed our children to know that our bodies are precious and we can talk with them privately, Mommy or Daddy with the child about covering up etc. Hope that helps. <br />God bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273022453795427751.post-44997668040435409922010-04-06T08:00:10.139-07:002010-04-06T08:00:10.139-07:00I'm not sure who you are Anonymous or if I com...I'm not sure who you are Anonymous or if I completely agree with you, but I am always looking for ways to promote modesty yet balancing that with not making the kids feel dirty or bad about their bodies. I would love to hear how you deal with children when they get to the age where they want to bare all and self-explore.lifebythehandfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844337912243724811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273022453795427751.post-33589820211023076962010-04-06T06:17:40.270-07:002010-04-06T06:17:40.270-07:00I think that your girls have nailed it. They are ...I think that your girls have nailed it. They are running away from a naked boy. I would see this as innocence at its best and it should be saying something to you. <br />They see something they should not see. That is why they call it "private". <br />This should be something taken seriously, even at a young age. Modesty and purity are being thrown by the wayside in our society. It is up to us parents to show how pure and how beautiful our bodies and even 'sacred' in a sense. I can understand as a Mom that it is precious to see a bare bum, but I would suggest you leave it at that-as you are the only 'girl' that can see (that's how I approach it). <br />GOd bless you!
