I’m smiling as I’m reading this as my husband and I have mixed views on this. It really does depend on the values and beliefs you wish to instil. My husband comes from the school of thought that modesty is a virtue and a good value to instil in our children. Therefore, we stop being naked in front of our children by the age of 1-1.5years. For me, I don’t go as far as being naked in front of my boys (I’m okay showering in front of my girl). I believe that everyone should be comfortable with their own bodies as it’s important for cultivating body confidence. I also like them asking questions because it’s a good learning opportunity. We try to teach our children respect for others’ bodies too - what’s appropriate and what’s inappropriate, what’s personal space and so on. I’m not a guru and well, we’re all really just trying our best as parents so whatever works best for you. Hope this helps somewhat
