Would you let them run around naked in the garden?

[lauramumof2]

I probably wouldnt let them run about naked, tops of yes but not bottoms. I dont want them to be ashamed but I wouldnt run about outside in the buff.

And like star said, the minute the nappy is off its just another toy to play with in joes case

In my garden.. Of course I would let them run round in the nuddy. There is a difference between always having your eyes open to danger and letting it rule your life.

I agree. Garden is fine for me but then I do know all of our neighbours. I wouldn't let him run around with his nappy off in a public place though. Only because I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, least of all Tom when he sees the photos at his 18th birthday party.

I would only let him run round in the nud in my/mums or MILs gardens as well not up and down the street or through asda weeing on all the fresh fruit like.

Definately, I walked up to the park the other week and on a fairly busy street (residential) and these people had their pool out on the front lawn and a little girl no more than 3 was running up and down the path naked. I felt that was inappropriate.

I wouldnt personally, she wears a swim nappy and t shirt in garden..

I have always felt funny about her having no top on outside-I always put her in a swim suit at the pool etc but its only a personal choice for me.

She is often naked in house and sees me and OH naked when we shower etc as i want her to know what bodies look like

We're the same

My daughter is currentlyrunning around in the garden with nothing but a t-shirt on - and that's just to keep the sun off her a bit. To be honest, I wouldn't let her run around in the nudd anywhere but the sickos in the world are not stopping my daughter from enjoying herself.

I would definately let Freya take her clothes off when she's really little, mainly because I want her to feel proud about her body and get to learn she's in charge of it. As tempting as it is to rule out any possibility, the vasat majority of sex crimes happen withing family and friendships, or positions of trust in the community.

I'm hoping that her best protection will be a complete lack of shame about her body, assertiveness and trust that she can tell me things. My biggest fear is anywhere I might leave her before she can talk.

That's my take on it.

look after your kids and maintain their dignity at all times but more importantly don't give sickos easy fixes.

I'm sorry, but what harm did that sicko do to the kid. Yes, it's a disgusting thing to be doing, but he did no harm. As far as not giving them an easy fix, what does that mean? You make it so hard for them to get an easy one that they end up kidnapping and killing their victim? Don't, for God's sake, think that I am in favour of leniency towards paedophiles. When caught I reckon they should be castrated, no second chance, no excuses, just do it. It's one of those things that has an extremely high rate of reoffence.
What's happened here? I thought the idea about parenting was that you teach your children all sorts of things, one of which is the ability to assess risks. Do you cross the road? Do you send them to school?
Any human interaction is dangerous and you can't live in fear of everything, but not letting your child have a normal, natural childhood is doing them no favours.

Yep, Seren will be naked in the back garden when it gets warm enough. I did the same and the only dignity I lost was when my ex boyfriend saw the pics of me naked when I was a kid. I refuse to let this media hyped panic of predatory peadophiles affect my child's childhood.
