In the home? What ever age they feel comfortable doing so. I won't put a stop to it, unless it's bothering someone else in the home. As long as your talking about HOME, with nobody visiting. The second someone comes over, this home is now like a public place and they need to get dressed. I'm sure they will get to an age where they don't do it anymore. I just won't make a fuss, unless another child is truly bothered by it.

There's no age where kids should be forced to wear clothes. Our kids always had a choice, and most of the time they chose to be nude. When they saw us get dressed, they learned to at least ask us if they had to get dressed too.
Common sense is the best judge. You and they learn when you should be dressed, and when you can be nude. It's having the option that is the great thing.
Heck, my mother's son is 49, and I ....err he walks around nude at home all the time.

My daughter is 6 and my son 14, and my son has always been shy, even as a 2 year old, he hated being naked, and would even insist on wearing a shirt to swim and all other times too. My daughter loves to be naked, but for about the last year or so, I have been telling her that we don't let boys see us girls naked, so she always gets something on when her brother is around. He is visiting his dad for the summer now, so she has gone back to nude, so apparently she thinks her dad isn't a boy! LOL

My children always get naked all the time in the house, but they know that their not suppose to be naked in front of other people. It really doesn't bother me at least not yet. but their all boys so it's really not a problem. If I had a daughter too I wouldn't allow them to be naked at all in the house.
My teenager would never get naked in front of me anymore for maybe about 3 yrs. my other children 9,8,6 and 2 still do.
I guess I think a a suitable age would be right before puberty or whatever is comfortable 4 ur family.

I have to say i still have this trouble with my 9 year old twin son Thomas he has autism and he doesn't see any harm in taking everything off ! but you have to draw the line ... no child should really run around naked say if someone came to the door or a friend ..might be a little embarrassing for them even though they are only children

I am 33 and still walk around the house naked (to the bathroom and back to bedroom) my kids are 8 and do the same. The human body is not something to be ashamed of, it is skin. We would never do it if anyone other than us is in the house but I am guessing that when puberty is approaching this will be the time

My eldest just turned 14 and in the last month or two started to get some pubic hair and generally starting to develop, so I've asked him to take his PJ's to the bathroom rather than wandering through the house to get dressed after his bath.
It doesn't bother me one bit if he wanders through the house to get his PJ's but sometimes we might get visitors while he is in the bath so I pointed out to him that visitors may not appreciate him walking through the lounge room naked :-)
My kids aged 14, 9 (boys) and a 1 year old girl all have a bath together most nights and when the two eldest were little I'd have a bath with them too.- there's no room now though, lol.
The body is natural - we all have one!
If children were raised with a bit more openness I would think it would have to eliminate some of the sneaking around that kids can get up to and also the embarrassment some of them can go through to do with body issues.

im there with rachel's answer, but most of the time i suggest they might want to wear at least a pair of shorts i have 2 sons theres nothing to be ashamed of they might eventually out grow it however you could set rules for what time frame youd prefer they wear clothes..
