[quote=Anonymous]Recently we had a family gathering with my sisters in my parents' house. My parents have a backyard pool and the kids love playing there. The kids include my DD who's 9 years old, and her cousins: two 7 year old boys (twins), a 6 year old girl and a 4 year old boy.
Now the kids usually swim naked in the pool (they've been used to swimming naked together since they were very little). None of the kids are shy about nudity yet when it's just around us close family members (backyard is well secluded). Of course they know that they can't be naked at schools or any public place, they just don't care when it's just us.
So during the visit, the kids were swimming naked again, and my mother joked about how DD is still shameless of being naked in front of us, which made me wonder if DD is getting too old for all this. Later I talked with DH and he said that it's nothing to worry about as DD is still a kid (she has not shown any signs of puberty yet) and that in a couple of years she will ask for privacy on her own anyway. DD is a smart and independent kid, she just isn't concerned about her privacy yet.

Is DD too old to swim naked with her cousins and not caring about privacy?[/quote]
