Is it wrong to raise your kids to be nudist?

Question

I raised my kids since birth to be comfortable with their body and being nude. I think it raised their self esteem. Was it wrong to raise them this way? Would/ have you raise your kids the same way?

Ours were raised naturists. Neither ever had any hang-ups, had great self-esteem & self-confidence, had pride in everything they did, did good in school and college, and both in good careers. One in manufacturing and one in law.

We, more or less, went by the findings in the study called 205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism which is good for textile-impaired people to learn about the naturist/nudist lifestyle.

Not at all, I was raised nudist/clothing optional, and my wife and I are raising our son that way as well.

I don't think is wrong as long as you also teach them when it's appropriate or inappropriate to take their clothes off in front of others or in what circumstances they can or cannot walk nude.

Its a bit weird coming from a parent. And yea its good to be comfortable in your own skin but if they go around all nude, they increase the risk of having predators and pedos go after them

I think it’s ok as long as your child is comfortable being nude! I don’t think a child who isn’t comfortable should have to been nude. I actually was what my step
mom called famous for walking around nude in our house. We also lived on a
lake and I go skinny dipping since I was 10-11 years old all the time. My dad would make comments like I’m going to get in trouble by the cops. I actually got in trouble my friends and I had a dare THE NAKED LAP. We basically strip naked get on the jet ski and race around the lake next to shore. We end up having the cops at our house about 20 minutes later asking who it was.
This was back in the 90’s so they didn’t press sex crime charges like they would today for doing the same thing. I've always liked being naked and getting a reaction of
showing off my body my entire life. My daughter I don’t think she’s as comfortable as I was with it. But like I said if she wanted to walk around naked I wouldn’t stop her.

Nothing wrong as such, main things is not being creepy and if at anytime they do not have to keep doing it.

I know a girl that was raised going on nudist holidays etc, when she hit 14 she did not want to do any more but was given no choice, that’s when it’s wrong.

I think it's better to teach them that nudity is fine, the body is not a sexual object but also that there is a time and a place.

I used to see my family naked fairly often. We would skinny dip in our backyard pool and stuff like that. We also only had 1 bathroom growing up so we had to share sometimes, like someone would use use the sink to brush teeth while another was taking a shower.

So we were comfortable with nudity but we also knew that it wasn't ideal to just walk around naked all day because that's not how our society functions.

I probably wouldn't raise my kids that way. Just because it's not a part of my culture. My family on both sides have never been nudists and they would see it as unacceptable.

I personally, though, don't have a problem with nudism. (Though I would be hesitant to actually participate in it myself with anyone over than my wife.). But I would probably still prefer my kids to be clothed, because I just think it's better that way. I'm not the most traditional person, but I am when it comes to the family. I do like to keep things proper.

Not wrong, however you have to make sure zo teach them, society wants people to wear clothes in public. So they don't get in trouble when running around naked.

I think it’s creepy because why would you want to see your kids naked and why would you want others to see your kids naked

Agape93 · Answer

Long as it doesn’t get creepy, I think it’s perfectly fine.

Wise4myage · Answer

I think it’s totally fine, but boundaries might have to be put in place at some point.

I wouldn't say it's wrong but I can't fully judge it without any experience.
