This is quite a crucial time, because it is usually when a girl's sexuality starts developing.
If you were previously prudish with your daughter where nudity is concerned, suddenly telling her that nudism is fine and good is going to be confusing to her.
Maybe what you could do is have a dinner-table discussion about it. Explain to her what the nudist lifestyle is about, and explain to her that you intend to be more open about leaving the bathroom and bedroom door open if you are going to change your clothes or get dressed.
Also, if she is not aware about sex, now is the time to explain to her what it is about and what sort of sexual behaviours are off-limits in our society.
I wish you well with getting your daughter comfortable with nudism.

I have a somewhat similar situation on which I would like your comments and advice. A couple of months ago (about six months after my wife died) my adult stepdaughter (SD) and my ten year old granddaughter (GD) came to live with me. As soon as she accepted my offer to share my home I informed my SD of my new life style and promised that if they came to live with me I would avoid causing her any discomfort or embarrassment. I suggested the she find a way to tell GD in order to minimize the trauma she might experience if she inadvertently saw more of me than she expected.
Since that time everything has gone quite well. My SD indicated that she not only accepts my nudism, but she actually approves as well. (However she has never expressed any interest in participating.) Well, naturally I miss being nude in my home when they are present. Like so many of you I find it so much more comfortable without clothing. Before they came I was always nude.
I'm wondering if you folks with more experience in this area think it would be appropriate to ask my SD if she would mind if I practiced nudism in their presence? Do you think it is appropriate for me to be nude in their presence? Or perhaps am I making a mountain out of a mole hill?
Happy Nude Year everybody,
Bill

Bill, If you make no big deal out of nudity, it usually won't be.
To smooth things over ahead of time, you might alert your SD that you might be nude when they're around. You can always invite them to join you at a local nudist venue. If your's GD's father is at all in the picture, he could cause a problem if he doesn't give you/your SD written permission.
What about just wearing a bathsheet around you if they are uncomfortable with you being nude. I would be unhappy if I could not be relaxed and comfortable in my home.
Best regards, Cheri

Thanks for your reply Cheri; I was hoping that you would voice your opinion. GD's father is divorced from SD and is in prison for murdering another guy in a road rage incident in Louisiana. He is definitely out of the picture and will be off the streets for another 30 years or so, but that's a story for another time.
Actually it is a little too cool for nude comfort in the house at this time of year, but I'm hoping to be able to get naked when the weather warms up next spring. I've just about decided that I will just explain the situation to my SD and see what her reaction is. If there is a problem I can try to resolve it during the rest of the winter. So far she and her twin sister have surprised me at how easily they accepted my proclivity for nudity, so there may not be a problem. As you might have guessed we have a pretty extraordinary relationship.

I am not experience in this area but you have been truthful about your nudism and your SD has not opposed it. Go for it. Perhaps your SD and GD would visit a CO resort with you.
Best Wishes, Jim

10 & 17, there's nothing you should be doing about it. You can't tell a teenager anything.
While our children were growing up we were never at all careful about nudity, but also never made an issue about it. The children were also free to do what they liked and teenagers these days seem much more conscious of their bodies than we were in the 70s.
Teenagers are always embarrassed about everything their parents do. Being seen naked is just about the worst.
So they wanted to cover up, especially the boy who would never be seen in less than baggy swimming shorts. Our daughter is a lot less self conscious, but still went 'through a phase' from 11 to about 17.
Fair enough, it's their right to develop their own opinions. However they should also be taught to respect and not judge other peoples.

That's why it's always better to raise your kids in the clothing optional lifestyle setting from the day their born.The other way would be to make nudism lifestyle casual from the day their born, meaning you would wonder around the house in the nude, along with your partner.While you would leave that up to the kids to decide for themselves if they want to stay dressed or undressed.We gave a choice to both of our daughters 10&8 yrs old, they ended up liking it and getting used to being nude that now they prefer to be nude when the weather is warm.

rickki00 is right its best to start when they are little, mine were 2 and 4 when we got into the nudist lifestyle when they reach their teens they had other interest and after a divorce i was on my own visiting nudist resorts. i have seen over time kids around 8 or so to teenagers visit a resort some were like fish out of water and seem to adapt quickly while others felt out of place, i really think it depends on the individual child much like introducing a adult to nudism as we have read here some have partners that say no way and some partners adapt to it.

That is the case.When we first went to our local naturist resort.We came across a lady sitting in a bench along with her 2 sons and 2 daughters, all comfortably relaxing.

Thats a tough age to introduce them to social nudism. Its much better to start as soon as they are born. But if you are already nude around the house you can talk to them about going to a beach or club. Couldnt hurt to try.
