A recent discussion among friends sparked me to ask this question. Among my friends there was a concensus that medical urgencies would be an acceptable reason for a mother to see her child without clothing at whatever age. For non emergencies the cut off age seems to differ for sons and daughters. This question specifically mentions mothers instead of fathers b/c very often it is the mother who takes care of the more private issues related to children.

when the mom stops changing the huggies,though for some people, that could be quite a while

WOW im just now reading some of these responses... 4???? 5???? come on, at that age you still need to supervise your child in a bathtub!!!!! i think that whenever the child feels uncomfortable then it should be time to stop, but who knows that might be at an older age. i do think that it is VERY important to teach your child what is a priviate body part, and that NO ONE should ever touch them there. or no one should make them feel uncomfortable. im 21 and to this day i will still occasionally see my mother naked, and vise virsa... however i can NOT at all remember the last time i saw my father naked or had him see me naked... that goes back to the whole stop when it is uncomfortable thing...however if i was a man i doubt id still see my mother naked or have her see me naked... it seems to be more comfortable if the nakeed ppl are of the same sex...ex.. mother & daughter....father & son

I agree that same sex shouldn't matter, if you have all the same equipment then it isn't an issue. And when they start asking questions about why you have hair there or why yours are bigger then you have a great opportunity to start talking to them about the changes that will happen with their bodies and hopefully develop a level of comfort so that when they do start having changing body issues they will feel comfortable to come talk to you. I have two daughters that are almost 10 and nudity is not an issue with us at all. But with opposite sex I would say around the time they start preschool. Medical emergencies are always a different situation.....you do what needs to be done in that case and you and your child can deal with the embarassment later.

I would think for a boy somewheres between 5-7 when they feel they want privacy. For my family my oldest is 7 and still changes in front of me. She does have some medical issues involving her kidneys so she has also had to be a little less private due to reoccuring invasive doctor visits.
My children sometimes still shower and change in the same room as me. They are all girls, and I don't believe it matters.

I have a 5.5 year old son I have covered up since he was about 4,5 years. I think it was me who wanted the privacy, he's only recently shown an interest in 'peeking'. I also have a 2.5 yr. daughter who is curious about her brother etc. We teach our children body parts and talk to them about personal space, privacy and that our bodies are our own. They went through a faze and with open conversation it is now a non issue. Once they are old enough to wonder about the opposite sex it's healthy to talk to them.....to remember they don't have any taboos or opinions, just curious. Yes moms and dads should be safe trusted people to deal with emergencies.So from personal experience, in a normal healthy situation, it is when either the parent or the child desire privacy. If you are concerned that a line has been crossed don't hesitate to ask your family doctor.

My son is 5 and we've this relaxing, him, his 3yo sister and that i take a tub jointly and play with the tub toys. He sees me bare, extraordinarily on summer season because of the fact I take a tub some cases an afternoon for the time of warm days and then i'm bare for a at the same time as. He does not be conscious this because of the fact he's used to being loose in front of his kinfolk and his kinfolk being loose in front of him. i'm no longer coaching my babies be sexists. whilst he hits puberty i will end going bare around him, pondering his hormones and techniques approximately intercourse.

We have all girls. My husband doesn't walk around naked in front of them. they are 9, 3 and 5 months. I still shower with my 3 year old. I am currently breastfeeding and my children are fully aware of what is going on. I am 28 and my mother and I still see each other naked. No big deal. I believe it should be the same for men, no age for dads and sons. My kids walk around naked somethimes in front of my husband, he changed their diapers! The 9 year old not so much anymore, but the 3 year old- he went from changing diapers to wiping her butt with toilet paper. He still changes diapers and gives baths. I guess it all depends on your comfort level.

It's really hard to say. It actually depends on the child because, a parent could have a disable child that needs special attention.

When the kid is walking and going to school. If some kindergarden or even nursery school teacher overhears the kid telling another kid about mommy being naked in front of him, some child welfare person will be knocking on the door. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
