When Should You Stop Changing in Front of Your Kids?

by Melissa HeckscherMay 16, 2024

Being naked in front of our little ones seems perfectly natural. At least, at first. After all, how else would we get our showers in if not for the baby bouncer propped in the middle of the bathroom during those first few months of parenthood? And anyway, we see them naked plenty when we bathe them, change them, or witness their glorious bare-butted happy dances just before bedtime. But at what point do our hanging bits start to become a little… awkward? Should we let it all out until the day our kids bark, “Cover up, Mom!” or “Put some clothes on, Dad!” Or should we opt for modesty before that?

“I think that the question is, ‘Will it harm a child to see a parent without their clothes on, partly or fully? My short answer is no,'” said developmental psychologist Ted Hutman, assistant clinical professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. “The driving thought behind this for me is that nudity isn’t dirty; it isn’t bad; it isn’t obscene. Nudity isn’t the same as sex.”

What little research there has been on the topic seems to agree. An 18-year longitudinal study of 200 boys and girls who were exposed to parental nudity found that there was no harmful effect on any of the following areas: self-acceptance; relations with peers, parents, and other adults; antisocial and criminal behavior; substance use; suicidal ideation; quality of sexual relationships; and problems associated with sexual relations.

That said, whether or not you bare your bod in front of your kids has everything to do with your personal beliefs and comfort level, as well as how your kids feel about it. Here’s what experts say about when (if ever) you should stop changing in front of your kids, plus a few other things you should know about setting those body boundaries.

Stop Changing in Front of Your Child…

1. When Either Parent or Child is Uncomfortable

Let’s be frank: Going full-frontal in front of your self-aware eight-year-old just feels different than baring it all in front of your brand-new baby. But is it? That depends on who you ask. According to Hutman, parents’ feelings about nudity may hinge on cultural or religious beliefs, with some groups valuing modesty more than others. He stressed that feelings about nudity are valid no matter which way they swing (to bare, or not to bare).

“I don’t think that a parent should do anything that they’re uncomfortable with if it goes against the grain for them—and that might have to do with their upbringing,” Hutman said. “I don’t think that it’s going to harm the child, but I really don’t want to tell people to do something or not to do something. It’s about what they’re comfortable with.”

Same goes for the kids. If you’re walking around the house naked and your child screams, “Ew, mom, stop!” you should consider their discomfort and act accordingly. It’s also important to talk with your kids about what’s driving their discomfort. You don’t want kids to be ashamed of their bodies (or yours), but you also want to impart the message that their boundaries should be respected.

“I think it’s OK for a parent to say, ‘I’m not embarrassed, but if you are let me know,'” Hutman said. “If a kid says, ‘Mom that’s gross.’ It’s an interesting thing to say, ‘No it’s not gross.'”

2. When the Child Starts Expressing a Need for Privacy

Most kids—no matter how body-positive their parents are—want privacy at some point, usually by the tween years, but sometimes much earlier than that. Dr. Beth Cowart, a Los Angeles-based adolescent and child psychiatrist said that when kids start to naturally seek out privacy, this is when parents should be a little more careful where and when they show their stuff. “Many times when kids reach 8, 9 or 10 they develop modesty themselves,” Cowart said. “We 100 percent want to respect that.”

3. If the Child is a Little Too Curious

Some kids are so curious about the body that their questions, interest, or incessant staring might make a parent feel uncomfortable. Questions are okay, but if a kid’s interest feels inappropriate to a parent, it’s probably time to move toward modesty. “There might be kids who really seem to be precociously or prematurely sexual,” Hutman said. “These are kids for whom I would say, ‘Let’s change the behavior.'”

The Pros of Nudity

Just ask blogger Rita Templeton why she wants her sons to see her naked. About a decade ago, the mom of four wrote a post about why she goes bare in front of her boys—who were 2, 5, 6, and 9 at the time. The post, which centered on the importance of her boys seeing “real” women’s bodies, went viral after being published on Huff Post.

“Before they’re exposed to boobs that are as round and firm as cantaloupes and pictures of taut, airbrushed, dimple-less butts—I’m exposing them to a different kind of female body. Mine,” Temptleton wrote on the blog. “I don’t lounge around in the buff like my boys do (and I spend more time saying, “Put on some pants!” than anything else)—but I’ve never refrained from changing clothes in front of them, or leaving the door open when I shower, or nursing babies without a cover. Because I want them to see what a real female body looks like.”

Seeing what real bodies look like—and kids being comfortable with theirs—matters. According to Cowart, parents should do what they can to make sure their kids don’t confuse modesty with embarrassment about their bodies. “Sometimes when parents start expressing the idea of modesty, it introduces shame—that they should cover up,” she said. “We want kids to feel comfortable with their bodies, and we can model that ourselves.”

What About Touching?

While there’s no set age when parents should reach for the robe, there is a time when kids should learn that our “bodies are private” when it comes to touching. This should happen around age 3 or 4 when kids start to understand that nudity isn’t an anywhere/anytime phenomenon (before this, most kids are happy to run around the house naked without a second thought).

“Kids are really curious; they’ll touch,” Cowart said. “That’s a good opportunity to say, ‘This is my private area and I’m not comfortable with you touching me there.'” It’s also a good time to talk about consent, and who can and can’t touch their private parts. The answer: Only they can—and a doctor, if you’re in the room.

Does Age or Gender Matter?

Not really. Experts say as long as it’s 100 percent un-sexualized (with no touching involved) being naked in front of kids is not harmful, no matter the gender. “We have to separate nudity from sexuality,” Cowart emphasized. “There’s nothing inherently wrong with being nude.”

That said, it may be a non-issue—since many kids naturally start choosing their own gender in the household when it comes to which parent can help (or be around) at changing or bath time. And, stresses Hutman, it’s important to listen to both the parent and the child when it comes to comfort. “I know dads who say, ‘They’re not going to see me without my clothes on.’ That’s the father’s discomfort and I respect that,” he said.

When to Have “The Talk”

Whether or not you’re comfortable baring your bum in front of your fam, it’s important to talk to your kids about the issue to make sure they don’t confuse modesty with shame. This conversation can begin as early as 2 or 3, when kids might start “wanting to touch parts of the parents’ anatomy or staring or asking questions,” Cowart said.

Answer any questions matter-of-factly, keeping in mind that nudity is not, in itself, taboo. We’re all naked under those clothes, after all. Even if you’re not comfortable showing some skin, your kids should know that there is nothing wrong with their bodies (or yours). “Some people are not comfortable being nude around other people; it doesn’t mean that their child has to have the same experience,” Cowart said. “And covering up has nothing to do with the shape of their body; it just has to do with their comfort level and their desire for privacy.”

This is also a good time to tell kids that being naked around friends, classmates—or any grown-up besides the doctor (with a parent in the room)—is not OK. It’s also a good opportunity to talk about things like consent and privacy.

What Other Parents Say

Doctors can talk all they want about the potential positives of nude-friendly homes. But that doesn’t mean all parents will be okay with it. On Reddit, the opinions on the issue run the gamut:

“For me, it didn’t get weird until my 5yo made up a song that he’ll sing anytime he sees me naked: “I see your boobies! I see your nipples!” I figured that was the sign it was time to talk about privacy,” said one mom.

“My daughter is 3.5 and likes to hang out and talk to my husband when he is in the shower. We have a big glass box of a shower. I think it’s good for her to know factually about different body parts for boys and girls,” said another.

Said another: “Team naked fam! We have family bath/shower time with mom, dad, and daughter. Nudity does not mean sexuality. Agree with all the comments that the kid can decide when they want more privacy. But being comfortable with your own body helps kids be comfortable with theirs as well.”

“I stopped being naked around them around the age of 4. I prefer privacy and I am a part of my family too, and would like to get dressed without an audience,” said another.

The Takeaway

If your brood likes to skinnydip in the pool, or you prefer sleeping in the nude—go for it! There’s no research to suggest that parental nudity harms kids (as long as it’s not sexualized). Nakedness not your thing? That’s fine, too. And you definitely don’t need to worry if your kids accidentally walk in on you while you’re lathering up in the shower. Remember: That kid was probably rocking a bouncer in that same spot not so long ago.

“As long as they’re not dancing and gesticulating, I don’t think it’s harmful to see a parent nude,” Hutman said. “I think it’s a great message to say, ‘I’m not embarrassed and you shouldn’t be either.'”

Parenting Expert Explains Why ‘Do Not’ Doesn’t Work with Toddlers

by Kate LowethMay 15, 2024

“Do not poke your brother in the eye!” “Do not throw your food on the floor!” “Do not run through the parking lot!” If any of these seem vaguely familiar to you, chances are you have a toddler. Kids in this age group are typically pushing the limits, which can lead parents to use a lot of “do not” phrases to try and correct bad behaviors. But if your kid isn’t responding to these statements as you think they should, they might be at a developmental stage where they just don’t understand what some negative words mean.

That’s right, kids between the ages of two-and-a-half and three-and-a-half often haven’t developed the language skills necessary to comprehend these “do not” phrases, according to parenting expert Dr. Chelsey Hauge-Zavaleta. If you’re raising your voice and yelling, “Do not open the fridge!” there’s a good chance your tot will stop what they’re doing because they understand that your tone means they’ve done something wrong. But they don’t necessarily understand that you don’t want them to open the fridge. So when they keep doing it, you get frustrated—and they get confused.

@drchelsey_parenting

♬ original sound – Dr. Chelsey Hauge-Zavaleta

Dr. Hauge-Zavaleta shared an easy way to find out where your toddler is in their language development. “You need two objects that they know the words for, like a strawberry and an apple. With a giant smile on your face and in an empty room, I want you to say, ‘Give me the one that’s not a strawberry,’ and I want you to see that the vast majority of children are going to give you the strawberry every single time.” If your kid gets it right and hands you the apple, she suggest finding someone who’s not a parent and doing the exercise again to see how your toddler responds. “Witnessing your own child not understand the word ‘not’ is probably the most powerful way to move you into positive opposites.”

If you need a refresher on the idea of “positive opposites,” check out this TikTok from Dr. Hauge-Zavaleta that explains how positive phrasing works better with young kids than words like, “no,” “not,” “stop,” and “don’t.” The basic idea is that if you want to say something like, “Don’t run away from me,” you’d instead use a positive phrase like, “We all hold hands in the parking lot.” It’s easier for kids to understand this positive statement.

Reframing the language you use with your toddler takes a little practice, but when you understand their level of development you can better understand what tactics work best to give your kid the best chance to succeed. And, of course, get the behavior you want. It’s a win-win.

Airbnb’s New ‘Icons’ Category Offers Unique Stays Under $100

by Melissa HeckscherMay 13, 2024

If staying inside Batman’s Bat Cave or a replica Haunted Mansion isn’t enough over-the-top bucket list fodder for you, Airbnb is upping its game.

The vacation rental site just released a new tier of experiences that will offer guests one-of-a-kind stays inside homes and spaces they’ve only imagined. The new “Icons” category includes experiences such as spending the night inside a real-life version of Carl Fredricksen’s floating yellow house from Pixar’s Up to being the first-ever to sleep inside the Clock Room at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

Even cooler? Most of the stays are free (and if they’re not, they’re under $100)!

“We’ve been known as one thing for 15 years—which is a place to stay when you travel,” Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky told CBS News. “This is a new era for us. Because we’re doing more than just offering a place to stay; we’re going to be offering experiences and more. It starts with Icon.”

The only caveat: Scoring an Icon stay requires a little skill… and a lot of luck. Some applicants will be chosen at random; others will be chosen based on the merit of how they answer irreverent questions (“If your life were a movie, what would it be called?” “Name one of your most useless talents,” etc.). In total, 4,000 people will be chosen for the various experiences, according to an Airbnb press release.

In addition to the outrageous overnights, there are also once-in-a-lifetime experiences, including getting a living room concert from Grammy-winning artist Doja Cat and spending a night on the town with comedian Kevin Hart.

“I wanted to create a product that created some magic in the real world,” Chesky told CBS. “We started thinking, ‘What if these worlds that only existed in your imagination could suddenly become real.'”

Mind blown yet? Check out some of Airbnb’s new Icon Experiences (there are 11 on the site now; more will be released later in the year):

Wake up at the Musée d’Orsay

For the first time ever—and for just one night—two guests will be able to stay inside the famed Paris museum’s iconic clock room, which will be transformed into a bedroom for Airbnb Icon. Leave the kiddos at home for this one if you win it!

Sleep like an X-Man

Holly Andres/ Airbnb

Fans of Wolverine, Professor X, and Cyclops will want to try for a stay at this 2D animated re-creation of Marvel Animation’s X-Mansion in Westchester, New York. There’s even a training room where you can test your superpowers!

A Night at The “Up” House

Ryan Lowry/Airbnb

You’ll explore Carl’s world in this detailed re-creation of his home, located in Abiquiu, New Mexico. The house even floats 50 feet into the air and has 8,000 balloons looming above it. “Of course, it’s on the ground when you sleep there,” Chesky said.

Stay in Prince’s Purple Rain house

This Minneapolis, Minnesota home, which belonged to Prince and was featured in the legendary Purple Rain, hasn’t been available to the public—until now. Guests will be able to explore the home and check out all sorts of rare and special Prince tracks in an exclusive studio session.

Make core memories with Inside Out 2

Whether you’re Team Joy or Team Anger, any fan of “Inside Out” will love getting the chance to stay the night at Headquarters, the control center of Riley’s emotions. This stay says it is “hosted by Joy, who will welcome you into her vibrant world to witness the emotions in action.” We’re not sure what that means exactly, but we’re in!

Screen Time for Babies Linked to Sensory Differences in Toddlerhood, Study Shows

by Kate LowethMay 13, 2024

What parent hasn’t resorted to some Elmo or Bluey time when faced with a squirmy one-year-old on an airplane or waiting for a never-on-time pediatrician? It’s inevitable. But a study looking at the impact of screen time on sensory processing has found that less is more when it comes to little kids and screens. “[E]arly-life television or video exposure was associated with atypical sensory processing in low registration, sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation avoiding,” according to JAMA Pediatrics.

The study followed 1,471 children, half male and half female, and measured their viewing of television or video at 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months of age. This was followed up with a measure of sensory processing at around 33 months, when caregivers filled out surveys about each toddler’s reaction to sensory inputs like lights, textures, and noises.

Babies who watched any television or videos at 12 months of age were twice as likely to experience challenges in processing sensory information appropriately, as compared with their peers. At 18 months, kids with higher levels of screen exposure were found to have both difficulties in processing sensory information as well as a higher motivation to avoid sensory exposure. By 24 months, the researchers saw higher screen time linked to sensation seeking, sensory sensitivity, and sensation-avoiding behaviors.

This comes on the heels of another recent study linking screen time to developmental delays in children. However, the causal relationship between screen time and these negative developmental and sensory outcomes can’t be proven at this time. “Further research is needed to understand the relationship between screen time and specific sensory-related developmental and behavioral outcomes, and whether minimizing early-life exposure can improve subsequent sensory-related outcomes,” says the JAMA Pediatrics study. It’s also important to gather more updated data, since this research started a decade ago when kids were more likely to be watching TV or DVDs rather than tablets or mom’s phone.

“Considering this link between high screen time and a growing list of developmental and behavioral problems, it may be beneficial for toddlers exhibiting these symptoms to undergo a period of screen time reduction, along with sensory processing practices delivered by occupational therapists,” lead author Dr. Karen Heffler, an associate professor of psychiatry in Drexel’s College of Medicine, said in a statement.

Now, we know what some of you may be thinking: Oh great, another study telling me I’m messing up and can’t rely on screen time? But even study researchers wouldn’t take that away from you. The bottom line is if you think you’re relying on TV time a bit too heavily, try to dial it back. And make sure you mix in lots of family time playing with your baby face to face, showing them lots of emotions and expressions, reading to them, and engaging with toys. It’s all about balance.

27 of the Best Baby Feeding Supplies Moms Are Using Right Now

by Kate CartiaMay 13, 2024

When it comes to finding the best baby feeding supplies, there’s absolutely no shortage of options. Whether it’s your first little one or your newest addition, feeding gear is always evolving. Of course, that’s a good thing, but it can leave you feeling a little overwhelmed with choices. But you have us, so you can relax and let us handle the hard part.

Most of us would agree that the best options have a few key features. We’re looking for suction-bottom plates and bowls (babies are mighty flingy as far as bowls and plates go), high-quality baby-safe materials, soft-on-the-gums utensils, and weighted sippy cups (because of that flingy thing again). A lot of feeding supplies are created with food-grade silicone, since it’s soft, but we also found stainless steel and bamboo options for those of us looking to skip the plastic. There are even options that also keep your comfort in mind. From bibs to bowls to snack containers, these are some seriously clever products for feeding your little one. Check out our list of the best baby feeding supplies below.

The 7 Pieces Every Mom Needs in Her Wardrobe, from a Former Personal Stylist

by Kate CartiaMay 12, 2024

The idea of ‘mom clothes’ makes us cringe. Visions of our own moms dance in our head, and although we love them dearly, their early ’90s style isn’t something we want to emulate (no offense, mom!). The good news? Moms are trendy now. The better news? Our shopping editor is a former personal stylist (as in, was paid to offer this kind of advice) and has rounded up a few absolute must-haves for any mom (or non-mom, of course).

Naturally, ‘must-have’ is subjective. But some pieces are classics that can be mixed and matched together and paired with whatever’s already in your closet. No matter what kind of mom you are, you’ll see exactly why these make sense for your wardrobe. Also, keep in mind that we also highly recommend leggings you love and jeans that are perfectly broken-in, so make sure to check out our posts that are fully dedicated to both of those!

The Perfect White Tee

There is nothing, and we mean nothing, more versatile than a white t-shirt when it comes to wardrobe basics. Crisp and structured enough to wear to work, soft and comfortable enough for the weekend. You also can’t go wrong with layers, and a white t-shirt is the foundation for hundreds, if not thousands, of different looks.

For Work: Wear your white tee under a blazer or classic cardigan. Try it with high-waisted pants, a skinny belt, and a pair of mules. Slip a classic button-down shirt on over a white t-shirt and leave the buttons open for more casual office days.

For the Weekend: If jeans were your first thought, you’d be on the money. Jeans and a white t-shirt will never go out of style. Throw it on over a not-as-casual sleeveless dress to transform it into a casual look.

Our Picks:

A Do-It-All Dress

Even if you’re not typically a dress-wearer, having at least one in your closet to reach for when you need it is a must. Date night, the office, BBQs, dance recitals—with the right dress, you can wear it over and over again (and if you style it right, no one will ever even know!). We learn toward solid colors, and classic, flattering fits, but the best dress is the one you feel your best wearing. So don’t shy away from prints, bold colors, or interesting details.

For Work: Flats or booties are your best friend when it comes to changing up your dress vibe. Add a wrap sweater or sleeveless cardigan for layering.

For Weekend: Swap the shoes! Just throw on some clean white sneakers and boom, casual dress. Pull on that white tee we mentioned or a sweatshirt or hoodie over it and change the whole look. Denim jacket or athletic zip-up? Easy, peasy.

Our Picks:

A One-&-Done Jumpsuit

Maybe you’ve been resisting jumpsuits. Maybe you haven’t found one that really feels good when you wear it. It’s totally possible you have an idea of jumpsuits that makes you cringe. All totally understandable, but we’re here to change your mind. A one-and-done outfit is a seriously valuable piece in any wardrobe, especially when it’s highly versatile. We’ll be giving you some jumpsuit options that really go the distance and can be worn in a bunch of different ways, no matter what kind of hurry you’re in. Solid colors really are your bff here, but we’ll never tell you that you have to stick with a specific color or print (or lack thereof!). Open your mind to jumpsuits and we’ll guide you on this new journey.

For Work: Depending on the sleeve length of your jumpsuit (pick the one that feels the best and don’t necessarily sweat the seasonality—layers are always an option), a cropped blazer is a great option for taller folks. If you’re on the petite side, a belted blazer helps to shape and define your waist, so no blocky jumpsuit silhouettes here! Add booties or chunky loafers.

For Weekend: Sneakers. Sandals. For a quick throw-on-and-go option, literally just throw on that jumpsuit and head out the door. Want to add a little more styling to it? Reach for a denim jacket and a pair of lug boots, or add some fun jewelry and strappy heels for a night out. It couldn’t be easier.

Our Picks:

A Transitional Sweater

Summer to fall, winter to spring—sweaters are a solid closet staple. And while we love trending pullovers that are perfect for each season, it’s the in-between weather that gets us every time. Make sure you have a versatile not-too-heavy, not-too-light sweater at your fingertips.

For Work: Over a button-down. With a dress (seriously, just layer it right over). With a cute neck scarf and tailored trousers.

For Weekend: Add it to the jumpsuit we just talked about. Layer it with a printed tee. Leggings and boots? Instant outfit.

Our Picks:

A Statement-Making Vintage Tee

This one is super fun. Literally any t-shirt that makes a statement is the one for you, but what we mean is one that’s crazy soft, that fits you just the way you want it to, and that gives you a little edgy pep in your step.

For Work: Of course, you’ll want to make sure you’re sticking with the appropriateness of of your specific office, so use your best discretion But, if it’s an environment that’ll let you rock a tee, add the blazer we can’t stop talking about, and make sure you tuck your t-shirt in for a more put-together look. If jeans are okay, we won’t object, but we actually like the idea of a pencil skirt or straight-leg pants. Don’t forget a belt!

For Weekend: There is literally no way to casually wear a t-shirt, but consider mixing it up with colored jeans, wear it under overalls or a jumper (they’re back, btw)…it’s a favorite because you can match it with so much.

Our Picks:

Our Picks:

The Boyfriend Blazer

Unless your office is business-formal, we’re rapidly moving away from tailored blazers (unless you’re into that, in which case, keep doing it!) and into a more relaxed vibe of boyfriend blazers. Slightly oversized, it’s less about being swallowed up and more about moving with ease and rolling the sleeves. A blazer just pulls everything together, so even if you’re in the most casual outfit ever, adding a boyfriend blazer elevates it in a snap.

For Work & For Weekend: This is the blazer we’ve been talking about to pair with absolutely everything on this list!

Our Picks:

Comfortable & Crisp White Sneakers

We’re in love with the fact that real comfortable sneakers are trending, and no color or style is more on-trend than the perfect white sneaker. There’s really no way to go wrong here, but we’re loving a more athletic, higher profile style at the moment. No matter what you choose, the number one thing (aside from comfort, which is the most important!) is to keep them clean. Give them a quick wipe-down after wearing them to keep them looking sharp.

For Work: Casual Friday = white sneakers with everything! Or, depending on the type of workplace you’re in, you can replace those pumps with white sneakers that really go the distance.

For Weekend: What Old Navy flip-flops were to us in 2003, these white sneakers are to us now. That casual dress? White sneakers. Leggings and a sweatshirt? Right, yes, white sneakers. Jeans and a t-shirt? You see where we’re going with this.
