Modesty Issues (Streaking Preschoolers)


I don't want to teach Kieran to be ashamed of himself, but this running around naked, and disrobing in public has got to stop. He is tall for his age so some people think he is five years old. Here's an example from a couple weeks ago. He ran into the living room, naked after having gone to the toilet, when I was talking with my landlord. My landlord turned three shades of red then excused himself from the house, said that maybe we should talk another time. Kieran and I have had several sit-downs about modesty. Anyone else want to share their stories?

eekSometimes I wish that I could be like that ... and not worry about what others think of me...its great that children are so free. I hate that they lose that by growing up. I think the world would be alot better if we all took a lesson from them...Never mind that was the 70's!!!!

My son still just loves running around in his underwear I can't wait to get a phone call from his teacher telling me that he tried to undress in class!eek

My boys are a little like this too. I think boys are definitely more prone to this than girls. But we have a very open atmosphere in the house, and they see us naked. They just have to learn what is OK and what is not, and that takes time when you are this age. My 2 were worst for flashing their bottoms around, and we have had to go down a firm route with that one! But in general little kids have no real inhibitions... perhaps if my body was in such good shape I´d want to run round naked too.!

My son doesn't like to wear clothes either...He likes to be naked. But we have insisted that he at least wear underwear. May be you should suggest this to your son too. My son puts on clothes to go out...But as soon as we get in the house he takes off everything except his underwear. I have had a couple of embarrasing things happen but if people are uncomfortable with him in his underwear just say...It could be worse he could be naked!! THat makes them shut up really quick!!
