I grew up with a father who bathed naked all year round, however on our own beach, the same thing I did until I was 10 and we moved .. My father was very large and we even had a glass door out to our bathroom, many wondered say about it ..
Do not think there is any limit, and think we are very hysterical and body-scared in Denmark. i still find myself bathing naked if there is no one nearby to bother or there is a socially accepted nudist beach within reasonable proximity. Children must be able to choose for themselves but for me it makes no difference whether they are 2 or 12.
In my town, there was a woman who made a debate post because it could not be right that she should look at naked old wrinkled people when she had the kids with her at the beach. It ruined her appetite. Her children would also be destroyed for life, it sounded like. There were educators who did not think they could take children to the beach, because now they saw such a completely natural naked body. :) It is I think is more problematic. Children today have an extremely distorted picture of how people look naked. Only the "beautiful" young people need to be accommodated, and if you do not look like that, then you are wrong. Why not teach them from an early age that bodies are different and that's okay? But that is something completely different ... Fortunately, there were over 90% of the citizens who thought there should be room for nude bathers, and if you had a problem, you could look away, or choose a beach where nude bathing is not allowed ... It was still positive.
Who said that? Most swimming pools here in the city are the limit for where children can enter the opposite sex changing room between 6 and 8 years (My daughter would already from the age of 6 prefer to go to the girls than for father to go with the men).
The question actually comes because my son suddenly wanted to bathe when we were on the beach today. and because he usually HATES salt water, we had no swimming trunks for him.
But when he finally wanted to, he also had to be allowed to do so, so he threw off his clothes and jumped into the water. He is 4. We have no problem with that, nor do we have any problem with others being naked, regardless of gender and age. - it's foreboding .... just a body. I was actually nervous about what others thought, because some are obviously VERY delicate, and body scared. I thought it was so liberating that people can and will be naked, and it just suits children so well to play around without clothes on, because it gives such a special freedom.
Children can bathe naked for as long as they want. Last year I bathed on an artificial beach where a couple of grandparents had their grandchildren of about 2, 7 and 10 years with them and all the kids bathed without clothes. It did not bother me at all when it is on a beach. On the other hand, I think about it when my 10-year-old nephew still wants to go with his sister and me into the women's locker room when we're in the swimming pool.
Yes - children of all ages are very fascinated by the body of the opposite sex. I had a conversation with my nephew about menstruation in the middle of Fakta (I would have preferred that he had asked me about it at home, but okay!) I also think that 10 years is a high age to be in the opposite sex dressing room, and 12 years is starting to be a bit borderline for me ... But I'm a bit divided, because I also do not want to force my nephew to change clothes when he really does not feel like it. His parents can practice with him - when I "borrow" the kids, I want them to be just happy and safe.
I totally do not care. My kids have to be naked on the beach until they want to wear swimwear themselves. For my sake, children as adults like to be naked on the beach, it really can not upset me ...
At home with us, we all run naked from the bath if we have not just got clothes with ind- ok my children are not that big yet, 7 and 4 but it's not like I think it's wrong to see each other naked- with us it is completely natural and not mature anyone thinks about. Of course, I do not want to run around naked and be embarrassed when they start bringing friends home. But it IS just bodies, nothing dangerous.
I agree that the child needs to be ready for it in several areas. For example, my nephew is insecure about having to change himself, even though he is physically capable of it (of course). But still, I think 10.5 years is too late to dress up with the opposite sex. As extra info, I just want to add that my nephew's twin sister does not similarly go with her father into the men's dressing room - both because she does not have the need and does not want to, but also because the parents do not think she should ... it is thoughtful , that there is such a difference.
Now children do not have to be deprived of liberty, forced-poor poor, just because they have not bathed naked on a beach ... In my family we also give the kids swimwear, but it has happened that the undersigned sometimes as a preschooler has bathed naked in our own garden and only wearing panties on the beach because it was a spontaneous swim.
My aforementioned nephews and nieces always bathe wearing swimwear, but they are definitely not embarrassed. My nephew of 10 happily runs around both half and naked in natural situations - for example after a bath at home. Honestly, I think kids think far less about this than adults do.
By the way, my mother has had children on two occasions: My older siblings were small in the 80s, and we have more pictures of them in bare ass in the backyard than of my twin brother and me, who was born in 95. My mother explains that with it used to be more natural to let the kids run without diapers.
She has twice experienced that it was a problem with pedophiles and naked toddlers: My two older siblings were playing in the garden, and a genbo / overbo / neighbor-something-or-other suddenly set about photographing them from a distance. The kids got dressed and came in.
The second time, she had taken me out to buy new clothes, and I was standing in the rehearsal room when she asked me to accompany her out of the store. Afterwards, I was told that a man had sat down next to the rehearsal room and looked in behind the curtain while she had been looking for more clothes. Of course, neither my siblings nor I got anything, but I fully understand that my mother pulled us out of those situations. In addition, it is unfortunately not only naked young children who attract pedophiles, if we are to discuss on the basis of the argument for not letting the pods run around naked. Personally, I have seen pedophiles and semi-pedophiles make approaches while both wearing swimsuits and fully clothed
