It's becoming rediculous. It started off with only Stefani taking everything off but her undershirt, which is buttoned and then Sofia slowly started doing the same. Now, if I leave the room for more than 10 seconds, I walk in to find them wearing nothing but their undershirts. They know they aren't allowed, and run away when you come at them with the clothes. Anyway, so Sofia threw a tantrum for about 10 minutes and won't let me go near her now, just because I forced her to put her pants back on.

All children go through this stage at one time or another. Especially very young children. It really shouldn't be a big deal. Even my 4 and 5 year old parade around with just their underwear on. They feel comfortable that way, and they are home, so I don't worry too much about it. My daughter used to take her diaper off and do that too. I would let her for a little while, and then I would put it back on. She's just a baby so she doesn't understand that there is anything wrong with it, and I don't blame her. I did however change her from wearing diapers to having pull-ups instead. This makes it a little harder for her to figure out how to get them off. Still yet, I am her mother, and there isn't anyone here but me during the day and my other children. I also have noticed if I say something like..........whooooooohoooooo, I see your nakie butt, they run for something to put on. lol. It works for me anyhow. My children do however understand that they must wear clothes when we leave the house or when they are outside. I hope this has helped ease your worries a little. Don't sweat the small stuff and pick your battles. If you worry yourself too much, you'll miss out on all the funny things that happen. You need that to reflect on when your children are older and causing so much more havoc then running around nude. LOL. Have a good day and Good luck.

Not sure the age of the twins but this is just a stage and you can set up boundaries for this time instead of demanding they don't do it at all. Maybe before or after bath, only in their bedroom but when come out they must put clothes on, Having the limits set and kept will allow their freedom and play but will also keep them dressed at the right times. A star chart is a great idea for when they obey the limits with no tantrums.

You are preaching to the choir! Seriously though this is the only time they can be free of materials that may be bothersome to them, I say just leave the stripping to indoors,no clothing as long as when going out they put on clothing. Clothing can be irritating, haven't you ever had a tie you just could not wait to unloosen but could not because maybe you were at work and you had to wait until you got home, or a pair of pants etc....My daughter strips all the time (who will be 2 tomorrow) my two sons also at this age loved to go around in their undies! Let them run free! It is only temporary, when they are ready to get dressed they will come to you, or they may even surprise you and put the clothes back on when you are not looking.

Good luck!!! Lol, my sister has had that problem with her girl ever since she was born. All I can say is that when they get old enough to actually talk to and reason with, they may actually listen. My sister's girl is now 4 and is not doing it quite as much, yet she still will streak no matter who is over! I think by the time they get in school, they should have a more humble approach to the clothing issue. It's embarrassing for you at the moment, but hopefully they will get over it. Don't punish them.

I don't understand why it is such a big deal? Some children just find clothes to constricting and uncomfortable. If theyre still under 4 or so maybe 5, it isnt a problem. If they're seven it is.
I would say not to punish them, punishment scars your children. I nanny for a two year old who hates clothes, she is gennerally naked and it's fine, she's more comfortable that way.

Anything new is fun, especially if it attracts so much attention. Apparently your twins enjoy the show of parents running after them with clothes and getting mad. You can do two things: 1. Dress them with clothes they find hard to take off, and 2. Don't pay attention. Try one or both. When they find themselves with such an inattentive audience, they will soon get tired of it.

It is a stage, all kids go through it at some point and time. I found (and this is if they are still wearing them), that if you put the diapers on backwards, they can't take them off. I have went so far as to diaper pin the shirts to the pants. lol I know that sounds horrible, but it works.

Straightjackets.
Complicated clothes, or maybe gloves. If they can't undo buttons, that may be your answer. A belt fastened in the back could work. Sandals and long pants.

It's a phase they go through...My 3 year old would be naked all the time if i let her! Try rewarding them for keeping them on,sticker charts or something. Good luck!!
