How do you teach modesty in a home with children who refuse to wear clothes. My 3 & 4 years olds have an aversion to anything on their body. I shiver looking at their naked bodies run thru the home. I think maybe they should have been born to a family who lives near the equator. At times I feel like a bad mom, wearing a sweater and sweatpants as they streak thru the school room. But as soon as I dress them they are standing in front of me naked.
I was hoping there would be a benefit to this nakedness. Potty training, one would assume, would come easy. However, it does not. The three year old has a small towel he grabs to clean up his puddles. At least he does that much.
I long for summer when this behavior is a little more acceptable and comfortable to the mom who is always chilly. But as trends show in this home, the naked phase will probably be over by then.
