While the weather was hot we had a family sized inflatable pool set up in the back garden. My daughter, eager to use it when she returned home from school, would often run into the garden, strip off and jump straight in without dressing in swimwear. I was a little shocked at first but wasn't worried about her being seen as our garden is very secluded and not over looked. I even tolerated her sneeking into the kitchen for a drink while still undressed.
However, as the months have gone by, she has been pushing the boundries further and further.
I have often caught her naked in her room at a time when it would normally be unusual to be like that. This has sometimes happened when she has had friends over to play; although when questioned she would say they were playing "dress up".
She has also started to come down to breakfast without getting dressed. I've told her that this is naughty and to put a robe on next time. Sometimes she does this but it isn't long before she's coming down naked again. Hubby is at work by this time. When I told him he just laughed. He thought it was "cute" to have such a young "nudist" in the family and said not to worry as she would probably soon grow out of it.
On bath nights I would dry her, then wrap the towel around her body and she would often go downstairs and sit with us on the sofa. Now it's obviously not healthy to sit around in a damp towel for too long so after a while she would be told to remove it and put a robe or T-shirt on. Needless to say the towel would be removed but that's as far as it went. When I challenge her hubby would say "What does it matter? There's only the 3 of us here and she would be going to bed shortly anyway!"
I'm not against nudity but I feel this is getting out of hand. Hubby just sees it as harmless fun but I worry that this "obsession" with being naked will get my daughter into trouble. Please help.
My 13 year old daughter can be the same,even more when she comes out her bath,when i say something,i get told,will we all ladys,so wants the problem,as i am a single mum with 3 girls,
dontott29,
I wouldn't worry about, I too am a single mother, so my 2 daughters and I have been pretty casual around the house in the same way. Were not nudists, we don't hang out all night in the nude, but we usually undress in our own bedrooms and just walk nude down the hall to the bathroom to shower, or then back to our bedrooms. I would never allow that if there were males in the house, but with it just being us 3 females no one is bothered by it.

Well my little darling is continueing with her nudist streak and it's something I'm learning to tolerate. It's a very good point GM makes about not putting her off nudity all together. I want her to be comfortable about her body; especially at her age when it's all changing.
So, on Christmas day, she was up at the crack of dawn looking through her stockings in her room to see what 'Santa' had brought her. She then hurried into our room, still naked from her bed, to show us what she had. Of course we acted all surprised at her new things. Of course she then wanted to go downstairs to open the rest of her gifts. I told her in a little while and to return to her room, which she did.
Barely 20 minutes passed before she stuck her head round the door begging for us to get up. I told her another five minutes which made her disappear again. We were now awake so I put on a robe and decided to go and make a cuppa while hubby got dressed. Little 'un must've heard me going down the stairs as, by the time I'd filled the kettle, she was by my side; still naked of course. When I saw her state of dress I sighed but decided not to make an issue of it as it was Christmas and essentially 'her' day. I told her she must have breakfast before she opened her presents. By now hubby had arrived so we all sat down to breakfast.
Little 'un being naked didn't detract from the joy of seeing her open her presents. Seeing how excited she was with her gifts made me realise that it wasn't important whether she was naked or not. I decided to let her enjoy the day and leave her to make her own mind up as to when it was time to get dressed while I concentrated on getting the dinner ready. Suffice to say she was still naked when nanna and grandpa arrived but dressed quickly after opening their presents to her as one was a new dress which they insisted that she put on.
Rubbish. I can't say I believe this at all.
At her age she should know how to behave.
this is a total wind up. A 10 year old is aware of his/her body and easily embarrassed.

Take no notice of this obvious troll post.
Quite so.
If kids were doing this - a smack will set them right.
Also, a child naked in December (Christmas Day)? In winter? I don't think so.
I know what the response will be "we have heating..." Yes dear, most of us do, but it would still be too cold to walk around nude.
Serve the kid right (if this post was truthful) if all they got were clothes!
If you tell a child to dress - they dress. If they don't - they get punished. It's called parenting.
As the father of 4 boys and a former military Lieutenant Colonel, I know how to discipline. You evidently need parenting lessons. I will instruct you if damn well necessary.
Well, any "nudists" around at the moment must have asbestos skin if they're stripping off in this weather! Colonel, these "nudists" are little kids not soldiers! Military-like discipline has no place in the home!

I wasn't talking about that as such. Discipline is nevertheless the key. Nobody is showing the kids who is boss.

The only answer I have to that is a bit lame. I reckon if things are alright in a home, the kids should know who is the boss on their own without the boss being too tyrannical.

Who's he?
In the movie Rocky IV Rocky's opponent is Ivan Drago, and Ivan Drago is nicknamed "Death From Above."

In case everybody has forgotten-we were all born naked! Mankind has only worn clothes for about a third of its known existence. If left to their own devices young children will naturally choose to run around nude,so they have to be forced to wear clothes by their parents and taught body-shame. Many people choose not to wear clothes when possible and various surveys have indicated that a third of those working from home admitted to being nude some of the time. Another survey (I think BT) found that about a third of people said they were nude when answering the telephone- I assume they were already nude and did not undress to answer the phone!
The young girl is doing no harm and she should be left alone: she will know when it is appropriate or desirable to wear clothes. I find it disturbing that some posters have suggested that parents forcibly impose their will and resort to physical violence to do so.

Thank you for your support. I was getting worried where this thread was leading particularly with some of the comments the colonel was making. There's no way I would discipline her in the way he was suggesting. It's disgusting the attitude he has towards children.
It's a new year and a new attitude with me where I'm concerned. From what I've read on here and talking to family and friends I've decided to let my 'Angel' dress however she pleases, within reason. I'm happy to let her be naked if she so wishes, I know she will quickly learn when it necessary or desirable to be clothed.
Angel still sleeps naked and more often than not will be that way at breakfast. She is also that way around bathtime. As she is now back at school she is obviously dressed during the day and usually during the evening when she comes home.
At weekends it really depends on what we are doing. Saturdays are usually spent at the shops so she is dressed most of the day then. Sundays are more relaxed. If she is naked at breakfast she could be that way all morning. Sometimes she helps me prepare dinner, or plays in her room. If we have guests for dinner I encourage her to dress, if not I leave it up to her to decide. There has been one Sunday when she spent the whole day naked.
I don't see the need to force her to be dressed. Many people choose the nudist way of life and manage very well. I'm pleased she is comfortable enough with herself to be seen that way if she wishes. I'd be far more concerned if she was so hung up on the way she looked that she didn't want anyone to see her that way, particularly her parents.
I'm not sure how long she will continue to behave like this, or whether puberty will put a stop to it. I do know though that I'd rather have a happy naked daughter than a sad clothed one.
