Last week while I was changing, my 9 years old son barged inside the room and see me naked from behind. Since then he is avoiding me. How should I make him realize that its normal among family,some times it happens and he can take care in future.

Well, while it's normal, think of it from his viewpoint too. A 9 years old is not really a young child anymore. A 9 years old starts to be interested in the other sex, or the sexual differences between men and women, start to compare himself to adult men, start to look at women with 'that' kind of interest...I think after a certain age, being naked in front of eachother in the family is not really acceptable (of course it happens accidentally but the number of these accidents should be little). He has a lot to deal with as far as growing up and his desires start to awake. He might get over it but I would pay attention to have some talk with him about these things seriously too, and also pay attention to not to show off in front of him after a certain age...I certainly don't care if my 8 months old sees me naked but if she was 8 years old, I would try to avoid it happening, especially if she was a he.
Hope this helps!

Just talk to him about it, and explain he shouldn't barge in on someone without knocking first.
Then just tell him that it's OK. He'll get over it.
I walked in once and saw my dad getting into the shower, but he never knew I was there. I felt embarrassed, but as I got older and realized that a backside is a backside, it's no big deal.

There's nothing wrong with it. Just tell him that it is OK because you are his mom. I saw my parents naked all the time !!!

You should definitely talk about it. Mention it in passing.
