Is it normal that my sons like to be naked?

So I'm a single parent and I'm a guy with 2 sons and my oldest son is 6 and my youngest is 3 and when my eldest stopped wearing nappies he stopped wearing clothes when in the house and my youngest son is the same when he stopped wearing nappies he stopped wearing clothes I assume he's just followed his brother since he's never really seen his brother with clothes on only when he's gone to school but this doesn't bother me and never will because it's my own kids and I'm 1 of the most laid back people you could ever meet.

The only time my sons do wear clothes is when their outside but not when their on the back garden unless it's cold but I'm not worried about the back garden since no one can see them and they only wear clothes when going to school or nursery ect or when their friends are over other than that their naked when playing, eating and sleeping they don't wear clothes when other family members are over only when it's my friends or theirs.

So what do you guys think is it normal plus I don't want anything insulting towards me or my kids just want some friendly comments and answers.

    i think it's the age really.

    my two nephews... when one was around 5 or 6 the other was 12 or 13.

    the younger didn't care if he was naked - he'd be apt to run around going "i'm NAKED yay!" while the older was very embarrassed by ANY nudity.

    i'm betting once the kids hit puberty they'll probably change again like the older nephew, and get a bit shy about things like that.

  • I think it's normal, but most parents don't allow it. My mum thought it was a pretty good idea when I was little because it saved on laundry and we lived so far into the bush that we didn't have neighbours for miles. Kids have no natural modesty.

    Also, when kids are that young, they don't understand the concept that there are different clothes for different seasons. In winter, they wear boots and jackets outside, but when summer comes it's time to put that stuff away. Some kids freak out and don't want to stop wearing their boots and jackets during the warmer weather. They will act as if you are forcing them to do something horrible by trying to get them to wear sneakers instead of boots.

    Children are new to the planet of humans and therefore they don't understand our rules.

    Well... not normal but I guess so long as everyone is comfortable with it but I would reccommend training them to wear clothes sometimes soon because once they get older it could get a little... weird. But in a house of all males, I don't see an issue with it, just so long as the relatives don't mind.

    There Gods gift naked is the truth there innocent they don't no about hiding yet and being a shamed, if the whole world was naked we would have more respect for each other and we wouldn't think we was better because of what we are wearing but what do I no,

    its normal as they are really young boys who are constantly trying out new things. They will eventually grow out of it as they mature.

    BUT it is important as a parent for you to tell them that it isn't encouraged. you have to set things straight for them to ensure that they grow up to be sensible men.

    This is compleatly normal but in most cultures frowned upon. However I have a few friends who grew up with nudest parents. There are large communities out there that are open then most to public nudity in a non-sextual sence. If your boys dont want to wear anything, then so be it. I see no problems really. However being naked around anyone who is not a family member may cause talk or discomfort for the other party, even if they say it dosn't. keep that in mind, just in case. Its good to let your kids grow in freedom, but other people count as much when it comes to social situations.

    It's very normal. I have 5 brothers and I remember the youngest 3 liking to be naked when they were little.

    It's normal at their age, but as much as it is harmless the way it is now, it's good to get them into the proper habits. Say you have a kid who likes to pile up his plate and only eat half of it. You think it doesn't matter, he's small, so it's expected that he wouldn't eat much, but he could grow up to be very wasteful. So you would want to stop him from putting more on his plate than he can handle. Same with any small habit, like brushing their hair or bathing, it's kind of harmless for now, but as a parent it's usually a good idea to get them used to what people consider normal. My opinion though, it wouldn't hurt to tell them to get dressed either, right? :P

    I think it sounds perfectly fine, but I'd guess there will be a point in time when they will want to cover up a bit more when they become more self aware, and that will be perfectly fine as well.

    Lol... It's not but is normal at the same time, I suppose. I mean, if I were aloud, I would be running around my house nude all the time!
    But once they get to a certain age, at least boxers/tighty whites are essential.

    Its one of those things that can go in both directions, but I would say as long as everyone involved is comfortable with it, there isn't any harm is there?. Although you may want to take into consideration that when although the kids are young now so its not a problem but it could develop into one when they are older.
