[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a new worry? Or has a 14 year old never had to change clothes in public before? I recall my then 7 year old saying he didn't like changing out of his bathing ahit at day camp, but he did it along with all of the other 7 year olds and it became not a big deal. I guess in reflection he hasnt had a ton of places to change clothes- the pool, the rec center, camping, that might be it. But by age 14 I am curious if this is something he has never encountered or if its a newly developed fear?

Asking because I'm wondering if I need to make my 10 year old change clothes in the locker room more [b]so that this doesn't become his future[/b]![/quote]

Well you know your kid

Why don't you figure it out? It's not OP's concern.

I mean her kid not taking a shower is also not my concern. But here we are talking about it.

Just wondering if its something new that could hit any 14 year old, or if its because he never changed in front of anyone at a younger age.[/quote]

Typically onlly if they have anxiety or have been abused. (not saying either of these happened).  But most 14 yo boys dont care about a 1 inch gap in a shower curtain- they're too psyched about knee boarding, sailing, being with friends for a few weeks.[/quote]
