When they can talk. You really don't want them talking about your body parts in detail to everyone who will listen. And trust me...they will do that!!!

Ha! I remember trying to figure that one out myself when my babies were little. Basically, up to a certain age the baby will only see so far, I mean if you're more than a couple of feet away things get hazy... at that age they're very small. That's why it's important to get close to the baby, and talk to his/her face... Then until about the age of 2 they don't notice other things than they can put in their mouths. By the time they're four, they understand privacy issues better. For them to see you naked will not trigger a huge reaction, but if they ask what things are (and that will usually happen if they have different things)... then you know it's time to cover things up. The thing is, don't make a big deal out of it. The best way to realize what stage the kid is, is from their drawing. The drawing even at 4 will merely be a big head and insignificant body parts. As the child matures, the body parts will become more proportional and so is their awareness of them. If the child is still at the big head stage, I wouldn't worry. But for your sake, and peace of mind, age 2 is the time you need to kinda mind him/her a little in that respect.

it would all depend I think.. I still see my mom naked and she still sees me naked and I'm 24 yrs old. I don't have a problem with it. Now my father on the other hand hasn't seen me naked since I was like 5 I think. That's a whole different story. and I cant remember (nor do I want to) the last time I saw him naked.
My husband has never let our daughter see him naked, which is fine by me (she is 2 yrs old) but my daughter and I still bathe together. I see no problem with mothers/daughters seeing daughters/mothers or fathers/sons seeing sons/fathers. but not opposite sexes up until a certain age. I wont be bathing with my son after a certain age (probably 2)
It is all on how comfortable one is with nudity in general I think.

I didn't make a big deal out of it but I tried not to be seen naked in front of my kids from the time they were about 3 or 4 on.

My son is going on 5. I'm trying to teach him not to walk in on me when I'm changing and showering. (trying since about age 4) I don't make a huge deal out of it though. I don't want him to be ashamed about his body so I don't act too upset. I tell him a naked body is beautiful but it is also private. So he should learn to give me the same privacy I give him.

My youngen is 5 and he still sees me naked all the time because he walks in on me while i'm in the bathroom and such.
I reckon by the time he turns 6 or 7 maybe he'll learn a little respect and stop walking in on me while I'm in the bathroom.
Cheers

When my boys started being embarressed to bare all in front of me I thought it time to stop too. I didn't ever do full uncoverage but I am even more aware of my state of undress now.

yes. yes..... an yet we strip off to shorts and bikinis, or less for the beaches in summer or on holiday.
what about Naturism, for some cultures nudity is nothing to be ashaned of.
Do what you feel comfortable with. Don't over react to nudity, or you could give the kid hangups.
Many kids become selfconcious about others seening them naked, respect their feelings.
But you asked what age should your kid not see you naked, depends on you and your kid, young kids often don't think about the need to hide their bodies, they learn to be selfconcious from their parents, family or friends.
Trust your own instincts - go with them - you are the parent not me.

Im going to give you my honest opinion. I think that when your child is younger,like maybe 2 or 3, theres nothing wrong with that, although there is the risk your child will begin spreading that around. But when your child starts puberty, around 9 for girls, and if im not mistaken 11 for boys. Then you should definitly stop before, like i said,my opinion, they get mixed signals.
Also what i understand all future posters, is that she is asking when SHE should stop being naked infront of THEM
