Taking kids to a nude beach

[ranul]

When you take your kids to a nude beach this is about your kids only

[ranul]

I don't have kids but if I did if they wanted to come with me to the nude beach I they would have to have a good reason not to go naked I would never force them but ask them why are you coming with us if you don't want to be naked

Mrs b_n and I raised our daughter in the social nudist world. We never forced anything on her. She did what she wanted to do. When she reached the adolescent/teen years she was uncomfortable about it... most kids that age are ... and, we withdrew from the scene for a few years.

My wife and I have never taken our daughter to a nudist resort or beach, but we do have a backyard pool. My wife and I always use the backyard pool nude. My daughter did until she approached her teenage years, after which she insisted on wearing a swimsuit. That seems to be typical.

As a general rule, nobody should ever be placed under duress to go nude.

First of all, you should already have an idea of the kids views of being around nudists. If the kids are not comfortable when Mom and Dad are always naked, then why would you even bother taking them to a nude beach? If, on the other hand, they are comfortable, then by all means, I wouldn't mind taking them. If the kids are not comfortable, then why even bother asking them to go along.
Just my opinion.

I would be asking to be polite like we are going to the beach anyone wants to come with us

The rules at a nude beach are clothes optional. That is how it should be for everyone, kids included. It is similar to nudist clubs and resorts--rules are rules. Mostly it is nudity optional but recommended except for pools where it is required.

"As a general rule, nobody should ever be placed under duress to go nude."

Technically Mosquito, as a general rule, nobody should ever be placed under duress to go clothed either.

We brought our daughter with us to the resort and non-landed club the majority of her preteen years. We'd already been home-nudists for a while so we fairly confident our daughter would adapt well. She was never forced to accompany us; on the contrary she would look forward to playing naked at the resort. And like many kids, she decided she no longer wanted to go when she started hitting puberty. Still didn't force her.

First of all to be clear I wouldn't make my kids come with me but if they did I would try to find out why are they coming to a nude. Beach if they don't want to be naked

When we started our naturist journey in 1982 we had two children, Daughter aged 2 and son aged 1. We joined a club and the children were okay with being naked. We went on to have another daughter. But when the eldest got to the age of 12 she did not want to carry on going to the club and stripping off so we had to cease activities. After a break of about 8 years we were on holiday in Fuertventura and went down to the beach from our "textile" hotel and were able to go naked again. We took the opinion that we would never make them go to a naturist swim although occasionally our youngest was given the option if she wanted to go.

If she does go with you shouldn't she also be naked as well after all why go a nude beach if you are not going to take advantage and go naked

Isn't that up to the individual? I respected my daughter's choice at the same age. A good parent does just that.

Could it be that the kid just wanted to go to the beach with dad and had no objection to seeing naked people? You should be careful about how you would get your answer. Just asking the question may give you a naked kid that will think of how the nudity was forced.

She wasn't with us on that occasion

Years back, took the family of us three. Son was unwilling to go naked by digging his heels in the sand. I offered him an option. "You can go down that water slide totally naked or stay dressed and not go on it." He thought about it for about ten seconds and decided he wanted to go down the water slide. The clothes flew off as he ran to the slide. We were at a nudist site. He was about 6. The problem is from the environment, that is the people around us. Nudity was, and still is, frowned upon. And it has gotten worse around in the USA.

Yes , it is the choice of the individual. But when it comes to children, often the parents have to offset the prejudice of those who influence our children when they are not at hand. We have to work with children so they learn how to make their own decisions.
