[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you'll know when it is time.  At some point, you'll either feel really uncomfortable or your child will appear uncomfortable.  [b]At that point, you should make a conscious decision to talk to your child about nakedness and comfort.  It is healthy for a child do understand that nudity is natural and beautiful, while equally important for them to understand that some people want privacy and that is important and should also be respected.  Talk to them about their feelings - do they feel uncomfortable?  Do they want privacy?  Do they not mind at all?  Go with it[/b]. [/quote]

I think that you have that talk a long long time before you notice your child feeling uncomfortable around you. We started talking about this at the same time as we started talking about autonomy, who can touch their body and when and how and whatnot….at like 2. We are still comfortable with our children seeing us naked (as are they from their actions)/they are all 7 and under and I still occasionally take showers with the kids/they still shower together sometimes (especially the brothers at this point or my daughter with me when she needs or wants help conditioning her long hair. I don't think that you wait on this stuff, ever. [/quote]
