good point, Bob. Teens will rebel no matter what it seems.
The best way to do it is to tell your teens "DON'T BE A NUDIST! I DEMAND YOU STAY HOME WHILE WE GO TO THE BEACH!" Then they are pretty much guaranteed to follow you and stick with the life style... jajaja!
Anything that can be done, can be done better while nude.

One common denominator I've found among nudist kids that remained nudists through their teens...was a very actively nudist Mom. I don't have a pedagogic explanation for why that is (perhaps the nurturing aspect of the Mother), but in many cases I've encountered, a proactively nudist Mom seemed to be one of the main reasons kids remained nudists. A nudist friend of mine was usually nude at home when her daughter came back from school; she never had any issues with her daughter joining her - even throughout her teenage years. Another lady I talked to was a stay-at-home Mom, who was always nude at home. Her kids were nude right along with her the moment they got home. I noticed the same thing with my daughter, who was nude if Mom was (it didn't even matter whether I was or not).
But when the Dad is the driving force behind family nudism, some push-back occurs with the child(ren) when the Mom is not so much into it. Perhap it's just easier to rebel against Dad.

Could be why we had such an easy time of it... my mother was nudist (along with dad), so my brother and my sisters never had a problem growing up. With both my ex and I as nudists, and almost always nude at home, our girls never had a problem either. I have many nudist family friends and can say that anecdotes seem to bear out your theory, Nudony. The families I know where the dad was the active nudist, but mom was more shy, the children did not adopt the lifestyle.
Anything that can be done, can be done better while nude.

Could be also that since eons ago, moms took charge of the home, or cave. Dad was responsible for things beyond the home. Mom set the example at home.
Dad might well have taken pride to take his son on his first hunting trip. Mom was internal, and dad was external. If mom is/was nude, it seemed that is/was the mannerism of the home. If you wanted to hunt, you had to do that the way dad instructed you to do it.
If mom was nude in and around the cave, so were the kids. "Monkey see, monkey do."
I hope that was specific enough to make my point, and generalized enough to escape any criticism of my statements.

I just like the visual you stuck in my head about us living in caves! In winter now, my place in Peru kinda feels like one! Hee hee!

"Mom was internal, and Dad was external." If nothing else, Warmskin is anatomically correct!

Haha, Doc, a belated reply. I never thought of it that way, but I never had a course on human anatomy. Was that a Freudian slip on my part?

A break through !!!
Tonight after she arrived home from the gym, my stepdaughter came out of her room wrapped in a towel. She turned on the lights for the outdoor hot tub, then went outside removed the lid from the tub and with her back to us dropped the towel and got into the tub naked.
The reason this is surprising to us is that for a couple of years she thought nudity was "gross". Turns out she and a couple of her friends have been using the tub naked and topless for a while now.
Now , we're not expecting to be naked with our kids. We're just glad that she is starting to accept our lifestyle.
She told us that she likes being naked from time to time, just not around lots of people.

Great news Steady,
Sounds like she has started thinking for herself, and has a couple open minded friends to boot. Guess this is proof she really does accept your life style.

I understand you live in a cold climate. Hot tubs are great but, I'm told, swimsuits get pretty cold when you get out. I had a boss who loved his new hot tub but hated the cold wet suit when they got out. He later told me they solved the problem but, not to ask how.
Bob
Have a nice NUDE day !!

I can only say that when I was a teen I had hoped highly my parents would have asked me to join them at the nude beach or nude resort. I had found a nude resort brochure in their room one day but I never brought it up I just went on my own and researched for local nude beaches. So I ended up going alone and few years later I was sunning nude in the backyard alone when my mom got home from work early and caught me in the nude. For me it was very stressful I feared how she would react, how would she react to seeing me nude etc. I think she said nothing about it due to either she maybe didnt see much or didnt want to be accepting of it. For me I was more fearful of the reaction by them seeing my nudity than me ever seeing them nude.

i wish when i was a kid i would have seen a brochure in my parents room, i would have asked when we were going. when my mother found out in the 80's that my family were nudist she wa first shocked than related that when we lived up north they had several friends that were nudist and they had been invited several times to a nudist camp and to lake michigan but refused, needless to say i was disappointed that they didn't go back than and take me...

I knew a single mom in a nudist club I used to belong to, who got her daughter to be a nudist at 14. I asked her how she pulled that one off, and she simply said: "I DARED her to go with me to a nudist resort."

My wife also has a daughter and she was about 11 when we got married, we were both nudists by that time. Her biological father had died some previous years before that, we spoke to her about our lifestyle and she said she would not mind trying it. The first time was a bit akward for her, but we told her it is ok, and after a while she got into it and now she is a happy nudist herself.

I forgot to say, she is 17 now and told us the other day she hopes her husband one day will also b a nudist, she can't picture herself as having any other lifestyle. We must have been a good influence then, lol.
