During the first year of life, the sexuality of children is being built to the extent that the parents provide nourishment, care and affection. This allows for pleasurable sensations that will form a positive image of the body.

Parents’ nudity could draw the attention of children between the ages of 10 and 12 months, but not with adult perceptions as they are in the process of exploration and knowledge.

The children observe the naked body of the parents and look at the flashy details such as the breasts, the penis or the pubic hair. Sometimes they approach and touch them in an attitude of recognition of textures, just as they do when they discover the rest of things that make up their world.

Dads, according to their values ​​and desires, decide to undress in front of their children. Your attitude towards your own nakedness is perceived by your child and allows you to build a positive or negative attitude towards the naked body. If you decide to be naked in front of your child, you should feel comfortable doing so, because pretending that a child naturally lives nakedness while the parents do not live it is a difficult task to achieve, insofar as transmitting values ​​involves being convinced and acting According to these.

The family plays a fundamental role in establishing limits on sexuality. The natural experience of nudity in the home must be accompanied by a process of dialogue, to let children know that it is not appropriate to get naked in any place; This will prevent them from being victims of sexual abuse.

Parents should set clear limits on the child’s touching the body of adults or other children. There is no need to warn that children should not witness sexual relations between their parents because they are not cognitively prepared to observe or hear such physical contacts.
