I was reading a post by Melissa, and I had a thought. If you did or were to raise your child(ren) as nudists, how import do you think it is for them to experience social/resort/beach nudism? Or is nude at home with Mom and Dad sufficient?

I’ve been to family naturist homes and realized that kids are not as clean and sanitary as most adults who are accustomed to wiping themselves after using the potty or sitting on a towel. This makes me wonder how do you properly train a child to keep clean and learn the “nude beach etiquette” mannerisms while growing up in a family naturist household? It seems this would be another principle to drill into the child and watch over constantly until he/she reaches the age of maturity. Are there any key tricks of the trade you can recommend?

What about outside of the home at family nudist resorts…I’d hate to have to discipline my child for not sitting on a towel when visiting a resort. It just seems so silly even though it serves a greater purpose.

In the meantime, what methods of discipline do you recommend for something like that? My parents used to pull my pants down and spank my bare bottom when I was a child which appears to be much more of an advantage for naturist parents. Friends of mine used to recommend that I wore extra layers if panties when I knew I was going to get a good spanking, let’s just say no child is perfect.

I am a new naturist mom who has the desire to raise my child in a naturist family. From time to time I hear both pros and cons about the struggles kids face while trying to be “normal” along with the pros where these same kids don’t have to battle with image complexes. What effects will social nudity have on my child while raising him in a naturist family?

I have no problem being naked around other adults, but doesn’t if feel a little weird that the kids are naked too?
