Retro_Ranger+FollowNavigating Nudity Boundaries: When Did You Start Covering Up?As parents, we all face moments when we wonder if it’s time to start covering up around our kids. For me, the shift happened almost naturally—my oldest was about five when I noticed he’d started asking more questions and seemed more aware of our differences. That’s when I decided it was time to be a bit more mindful about privacy. It wasn’t a hard rule, but more of a gentle transition, respecting his growing sense of self and boundaries. Every family is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. I’d love to hear your experiences—when did you start feeling it was time to change things up at home?
