attention is advised during moments of intimacy and marital relations. Because the genitalia
are a significant source of joy during these times, be careful to instead highlight the most
important functions (birth canal, urination) of genitals to younger children. Anything beyond
that will overpower their mental period of growth and work contrary to the wholesome
surroundings you are attempting to maintain. Marital familiarity is best left behind closed
doors.
Hints
Young adolescents naturally develop increased modesty round the time of puberty. Don't
compel someone to be nude. The transition may be helped by wearing trousers for a while.
Being around other adolescents who role model comfort using their bodies will not be worry.
Comprehend that not all shame is terrible shame. Good shame is ingrained to assist us
prevent endangering positions. But other shame predisposes us to clothing compulsiveness,
and is the consequence of social conditioning during youth.
The aim would be to supply kids the chance to see nakedness in a sense that's almost
nonexistent in our society: to allow it to be a neutral, non-sensuous portion of everyday life in
its proper context. This goes a long way toward inoculating them from the enticements easily
found outside the walls of your own home and in the marketplace.
Do support family members to appreciate in art that is fine --particularly considering that
classical art is not bound by the hyper- sexualized and improbably body images common in
the current advertisement-soaked culture.
You'll find many great books on pregnancy and adolescence that separate the sexual facet in
the physiological changes of puberty. These publications provide a clinical look that is very
impartial at breast and pubic hair growth during the teen years, and comprise very candid
photos of actual arrivals. Sways like these offer a framework where family nudity can flourish
to the benefit of all, and help separate nudity from sex in the child's mind.
Respect others' standards. It's not bad to point out that other individuals are not accustomed
to nudity, plus it is kind to respect their wishes. This might mean willingly closing the
bathroom door, or keeping the drapes drawn when guests are present a practice that
encourages courtesy, although not shame.
A focal point for nudity that allows the whole family to participate collectively without artifice is
quite helpful. Outdoor pool or an indoor swimming pool with a privacy fence is great, if not
practical for most families. Saunas will also be outstanding because of this, but are not as
common in the U.S. as Europe. Year round a practical option that works is a hot tub. Kids
see this as a kiddie pool that is heated, and they can play with water toys, too.
A great side benefit to wholesome understandings of the nude body in the house is the fact
that when the time comes to describe human reproduction, there is going to be less tension
in the children--and less to not be comfortable about for you. Children is not going to have
the distraction of embarrassment when discussing (what for others can be) "black" body
parts. This in turn, will keep the communication lines open during adolescence.
For families where the children are old it might be unwise or difficult to attempt to change
attitudes. Sometimes big decisions may need to be made to be able to break free from
customs. Such changes may include ridding the house of magazines, television, or other
media that subtly (or not so subtly) links nudity to sex.
