My 7 Yo Son Keeps Taking His Clothes Off Everytime He Goes In The Backyard
Should I let him run around naked and play in the grass outside ? Or should I make him put clothes on ? I’m just concerned about what the neighbors will say . We have a 10ft wall around so they won’t be able to see unless the little kids next door peek over which they did yesterday . I need opinions... he seems happy playing outside .
The kids over the fens probably looking at him and want to join In the care free fun . What is the harm if he is oblivious to them . Let him enjoy freedom I say
Our son LOVES to be in just underwear. We limit it to inside the house only though. Home is a safe space and he can rationalize why home is okay and not school or other people's houses. We do try to get him dress if people are coming over, but most of our family knows his preferences and if he doesn't have anything but underwear on, it is okay.
We've been lucky that he understands that home is okay and other places aren't. But he is very practical in his thinking. I would try and get him to see that OTHER people aren't naked in public, so he can follow suit. I know some kids see what others are doing and mimic it.
Hmmm, I guess that is why you have the 10 ft fence. If they look in they could see his parents running around naked . I would say allow him to enjoy his own yard. Not sure though if that would cause him to want to go other places and get naked though? I have not actually experienced this with mine, so maybe you should ignore me. LOL
My son does this too and it started bc he was playing in water so much it was easier. But now he’s 11 and showing signs of puberty I think it’s best to train to put on swim trunks or something. He’s severe but is accepting it just fine. Learns best w routine and consistency. But out of exhaustion I def still let him roam naked out Back. They’re very hard to please so sometimes it’s like well they’re happy as a clam. Just let it be until it becomes a problem. At least that’s where I’m at w it. I don’t want it to turn off different caregivers that come through.
I let my now 30 yr old brother go naked outside any time he wants.
