At what age is it no longer okay for my little girl to be running around naked?

@joanna that makes me feel better to hear that 6 is still considered too young. Hopefully she’ll grow out of it soon.
I’m not sure a six year old can be unladylike. It’s 2025. I’m currently sat on my sofa in just my pants and a big tshirt 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t need to fit this weird definition of lady (thought up by a man) in my own home. I should be able to be comfortable. As for the nudity, if she doesn’t feel awkward yet (I’m sure she’ll get self conscious eventually and stop) then I just think it’s quite wonderful she’s so comfortable and at ease with her parents. She obviously feels safe with you 🤷🏻♀️
@Gaby good point. She’s only 6, and clearly at ease at home. I’ll chill on this.
I’m sure there will come a time where she doesn’t feel comfortable enough to do this (when body changes start to happen and we come a bit more self conscious) but at 6? She’s still a baby and let her be. I’m sure her dad gives zero care that his daughter is running around naked! I don’t know why you think it’s not appropriate in front of her dad he is her dad after all 🤷🏻♀️ I get my daughter to wear cycle shorts under her dresses for that reason when we are in public but I always say “this is your house and you are safe here with mummy & daddy, you can wear and be how you want to!” As she doesn’t particularly like wearing undies usually at home she takes them off and just has her pj shorts on or something similar. Don’t rush her to grow up! Being nude as a child is normal and bodies are just bodies 🙌
My daughter is 8 and is all about her privacy however will still get dressed in front of the window downstairs. She’ll wear pants in bed and be comfortable with that and a top downstairs or without. She is getting to that age though where she probably will start developing soon.. Apparently her friend has a rule that she needs to wear a top. It’s not something I’ve overly worried about yet but at the same time she can’t wander round naked.
If you had a son that was the same would you be bothered as his mother? Or would you let him be? Flip how you’d feel and that’s probably how her dad feels x
I appreciate the feedback and have taken on board 🙌
I would have thought that she’ll reach an age where she isn’t comfortable running around naked at home anymore, so it will resolve naturally. 6 still seems young, I don’t think there’s much of a concern with it. Xx
