Just read an interesting blog post regarding allowing children to run around naked at home. They actually did a newspaper article AND  section on the ‘The Today Show’ about this …. a show, on this subject? Is it really that news worthy and big an issue?

Honestly is this not taking things a bit far? Over parenting is the newest point of discussion which for me is one of those relative terms, what for one is over-parenting is for another neglect. Personally this is one of those that falls into the category of over-parenting.

I had actually never thought anyone would frown on this, I assumed it is totally normal – something every child does. For me there is nothing offensive about it, particularly when talking about babies and toddlers.

I did elimination communication with my son – he was practically always without a nappy (every photo we have of him is either topless, bottomless or all-less). My daughter was a real bare-bear, she learnt early on how to remove her own clothing and if you wanted to find her you simply needed to follow the trail of clothes.

Obviously as you have probably concluded I am on the all for children playing naked at home side – it is normal, natural and healthy (on so many levels).

here is a link to the blog post that got me wondering – some of the comments are interesting.

What are your thoughts on this – appropriate or inappropriate?
