For how long I can go ***** in front of my kid ?

Hi , I have a 3 year old son. I am a passionate father and spend a verry lively and quality time with my kid and because of that he is attached emotionaly to me more than his mother. He likes to do everything with me only when I am arround like playing, eating food, cleaning potty, taking bath, sleeping in night etc. My Question is - During bath I go naked in front of my kid and it is continuing from the past 3 years. As it is a routine activity for him he takes it normally and never showed any curiosity or never he asked any question about anything. My wife also never interfered in this. I also do not feel any shy in this might be I also take it as a routine activity. But now as he is growing up I have started thinking of stopping this but never tried to stop it. One thing is sure, I will stop it as soon as I will see any change in his behavior because of this act or when he will start asking question related to private part or will start staring at it. But till now nothing has happened so For how long I can go naked in front of my kid or what is the age of child till I can continue it ?

    The only reason some children have a problem with their parents nudity is because they have been told/taught that it is wrong or disgusting or similar.

    Children raised in an environment where nudity is fairly normal, and who don't get teased about it or told it is wrong, generally they grow up to have less body issues, less issues with nudity in relationships etc. Which suggests that nudity is actually healthy. It truly is only the way that we are raised that makes us have a problem with nudity at all, it is the connection of nudity with sex that creates problems with nudity in our society.

    Consider the so called primitive cultures that still exist today, they go around nude or half nude, and they have no problems with it, nor do their children.

    However, if your child starts to comment adversely, complain, or have other troubles because of nudity, then it is best to stop for their sake. Make sure they always know that they can ask you to stop being nude around them (yes even at this young age), if they do have a problem, or you begin to feel uncomfortable, then when it comes to baths and similar, just wear jocks or boxers, as they provide enough coverage while not making it annoying whilst being in the bath...

    Here in Japan, parents and children routinely take baths together or go to the hot spring spa. Generally the sexes are separate, but not always. It has no big effect on the kids. Don't worry about it.

    I would say stop when your child learns how to verbally communicate, goes to school and/or points out your body parts or notices and starts asking questions.

    I would stop at the age of four but if he starts any of the above mentioned earlier, then stop.

    It isn't healthy for the child to be exposed to their parents naked when they are aware. It causes them to be unsure of themselves when they are older.

    It confuses them

    ingesting a lager is advantageous. that's legal, properly? besides, in the adventure that they accelerate and get a six p.c.. once a week, even as they have their houses, what's the freakin large difference? that's undesirable if a baby sees mother and father going out (to golf equipment) coming residing house at the hours of darkness sloshed off their butts and passing out on the settee. Or if mommy and daddy are having too a lot to drink that they could't guard their youthful ones or sleep till eventually noon and awaken puking. i love a lager each once in a lengthy time period, too even as my youthful ones are asleep. My husband has one with dinner. large whoop.

    When I was a child, i saw both of my parents naked quite a few times. Did it bother me? No, your his dad, no harm in it at all! I turned out fine, would I want to see my parents naked now? No, but it didn't bother me when I was smaller. I wouldn't worry until your son says, ewww daddy put some clothes on!

    I would say when they are maybe in their teens. Your body is you in your natural state and not something to be ashamed of. If you act like it is something to be hidden or make a big deal about it your child will see this and think the same as his or her own body. So I think you should go about doing what you are doing and of course your child is going to ask questions about your body parts, how else will they learn about their own bodies.
