Some parents wish to continue their naturist activity as a family. But can this nudity have consequences for the child? The psychologist gives us her point of view on the question.Can we practice naturism as a family?
Naturism is an educational choice and there is no contraindication to it. However, it is better to initiate children from an early age, since the relationship to the body and modesty are built very early, according to the benchmarks and limits of the parents. Toddlers can walk around naked very naturally. It seems more complicated to start family naturism later, like in adolescence. Until then, I think it's a fairly easy lifestyle to set up with little kids. But, in adolescence, they will clearly affirm their own position: either they will wish to continue, or they will no longer want to accompany their parents.
This exposure to nudity, what do you think?
Nowadays, we see naked or naked bodies everywhere, but they are models. It's an aesthetic that doesn't fit in with reality at all. It's quite unreachable. It is therefore important that children realize that this is not the reality in order to accept themselves as they are. The challenge is that the child is comfortable in his sneakers. To achieve this, education plays a big role, but the parent's relationship to his own body will also play a very important role. If the parents are comfortable, naturists or not, they will unconsciously pass it on to their children. We do a lot of things so that children feel good in their minds and with their emotions, but it's important to help them feel good in their bodies too. It is a whole. Otherwise, Remember that there is a difference between nudity and sexuality. It is often on this point that there is a misunderstanding, even if the two are linked.
Will this have consequences on the relationship to the child's body?
The relationship to the body often changes with age. In our societies, we tend to start talking about intimacy around the age of 3. Even if the parents are generally uncomfortable, it is indeed at this age that we will face infantile sexuality and that we will, for example, tell your child to go to his room s he wants to "touch his penis". Their first awareness of modesty was born at that age, like their curiosity and questioning about the difference between the sexes. If the parents are comfortable with these questions, it is likely to be much less taboo. The line between modesty and shame is fine. we must help the child to be proud of his body, while respecting his privacy.
Is modesty a notion to be instilled?
It is with small examples from everyday life that a parent will be able to transmit the notion of modesty to his child. He's going to explain to her that he can't walk around naked just anywhere. Faced with the rather taboo question among parents of infantile masturbation, we will tell the child to do this in his room, when he is alone... It is something quite unconscious and the limits of this modesty will depend education. But the child will understand fairly quickly that everything related to sexualityis of the order of the intimate and inevitably, there will be modesty... even if we are naturists. The relations between the parents take place in intimacy, in particular. However, if the question of the body, nudity and sexuality are taboo, the child will feel guilt and shame. his relationship to his body and his sexuality will be altered.
If you want to do naturism with your children, do you have to take certain precautions?
You have to listen to the child. If you feel discomfort, do not force anything. Some children talk about it very easily on their own. "Mom, I don't want you to go into the bathroom", for example. There, it is clear and net, it is necessary to respect their modesty. But most of the time, this embarrassment is less clearly expressed: a look away or discomfort when undressing... We therefore adjust to the behavior of our child. Do not hesitate to ask him the question very simply, so that he feels free to express his opinion. The more we talk about it, the less it is taboo. But naturism is not a traumatic experience for the child if we discuss it with him, explain his choice and adjust to his feelings as well. If a child feels embarrassed around naked adults, we must respect this discomfort and perhaps limit ourselves to naturism within the family. As with every activity with your child, you just have to remain vigilant and supervise things well. As long as everything is done in the respect for the child, so there is no problem practicing naturism.
