Ask Me Help Desk - My Daughter loves nudity and its freaking me out.

No. I give stern talking sometimes or show distress a little but I believe if she does something she shouldn't do she should do something more positive. Her Mom and I do not speak and they were putting her in a corner A lot... She would come to my home for the three days on and three days off custody rotation and would not walk past a corner with out sticking her nose in it. Once I was doing some office work at home in the office and she had taken Ernie, Bert, Etc... And had all their noses in the corner and was yelling at them individually. That turned into a day in the office with my lawyer and was as far as I know the last time she had problems with negative discipline. She is ultra shy with own nudity, so there will be no flaunting. She is so cute and funny, I have a link to a slide show of us if anyone wants to see it? kaylas slideshow

Greg,
I'm sorry to have upset you. Your response and the nudity post is what got this back on the Desk.
I do not want you to do anything that will make you uncomfortable in front of your child. You can keep your pants on, thank you very much.

But before I go, I would like to point out for your information:

The first is, I think you misunderstood, or just took offense to, my recommendations, and retaliated for what some others said.

I'd also invite you to read my profile more closely. What isn't in my profile is the fact that in January, I was injured and have been in physical therapy. Few here knew that, but I share it now to dissuade you from thinking that I'm an unemployed loser. When I joined this website, I too, was looking for information, not to instigate as you claim. You dwell on post count (that is post, not blog). But in return for the help I've gotten, I give. That should not come under attack. There are many here who have joined since you and I with many more posts. I hope you don't think them as mindless, dribbling losers as well.

And, I don't doubt that this curiosity will pass and your daughter will grow up quite nicely. Having perused your profile, you seem like a caring father. Enjoy your dinner.

Other countries that don't put so much taboo on nudity and their bodies don't have these issues. People who have grown up as NUDISTS, don't have this issue. One possible way to break this, is to desensitize her to nudity. Nudity is not directly related to sexuality. Her reaction is not a sexual reaction. She is most likely trying to illicit your reaction, where you attempt to hide your body, or act startled when she opens the curtain.

Have a nude day, your wife, yourself and your child can hang out around the house naked. Do normal routine things, that distract from the fact that you are nude. Make no comments to the fact that you are nude.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel sorry for this fellow who gave some actual good advice to what would better have been a well together family. Nudist families (Naturalists) children lose their virginity at way later in life than the reg population, and it's proven that they are more likely to graduate and be a success. Maybe not for my scenario... But I think the red hits have scared him off. Leave the poor guy alone. :-)

Greg Quinn agrees: She is such a nice girl too. Daycare put her in an advanced class and Im so proud :-)

Good for her! She sounds like she is becoming a smart little one :p

My oldest son just went through the nudity/touching himself phase. We just explained to him that his parts are his, our parts are ours, and all boys and girls have these parts and its normal. He went through this for about a month and eventually just lost interest. Now he's more interested in Hot Wheels and Tonka Trucks... oh and being praised for going pee in the potty.. lol :p

She will get over it eventually, its just one of those hills we have to go over as parents.

I will ask her to take off her clothes for bath time and she will counter it with " take off your clothes Daddy"I have talked with her a lot but it won't stop, she even try's to tear my towel off after a shower( last time I got upset with her) and finds it to be the funniest thing ever. I have talked a lot with her and explained to her that it's inappropriate to always want to see me naked but Kayla is only two and a half years old. She is quite the little spy as well. When I have to shower she stays in the bathroom with me sometimes, I could even give her a barbie dream-house in there but it wouldn't stop her from ripping the shower curtain open in some odd terrifying Norman Bates psycho scene. I know it's normal to be curious but I want a way to stop it. I am a mans man and do not want her being so fascinated with my parts anymore, I'm starting to feel like a slab of meat. lol, it is important to remember that changing your clothes, and showering is something you have to sometimes do with a 2 and a half year old child present to avoid electrical outlet problems and hospital trips. I have been independant up until this one. I think I am the only one she does this with and would love some advice. What an odd problem to have.

Well it sounds like you are in a tough situation... maybe you should try getting her interested in other things such as taking her to places she wants to go or take her soppin so she'll love to have clothes on... buy her lots of cute clothes

Yeah... The potty sucks! We are doing that one and I hate all of the accidents. I am still a guy and get embarrassed in public. LOL, I wouldn't change it for the world though.
