EVERY day....they take their cloths off. no matter what time of day. Its driving me NUTS. The come downstair nakked. They take off every outfit I out on them. Whats the Deal???
Did they just learn how to undress? We went through a mega-naked phase when they first learned. It's natural to want to practice a new skill whatever it is... I didn't try all that hard at first to end it. Boy, that was a mistake -- it was rough to undo! Your kids are old enough to understand, though, so you'll just have to be firm that they keep their clothes on and don't let them get away with it even once. The game will lose its charm in a few days. Once we were well past the "newness" phase, I could be more lenient and let them have a little naked time after their bath but it's simply not allowed at other (inappropriate) times. I'll march them right back to the pile of clothes and dress them myself repeatedly if necessary because that's what it takes to get the message across that they won't get away with it.
My girls stayed naked for 2 years. I just set boundaries - clothes must be worn outside, if any visitors were expected & if I opened any blinds they had to be clothed. It ran its course & now they insist on "pwivacy" - they wouldn't let me change them in front of their little playmate today. It certainly made potty training easy. My friends kids are 4 & almost 3 - they are naked all the time too. I think it is normal for most kids.
I think your boys are probably old enough that they are potty trained? For my girls it started when I began working on the potty training. What i found was that they would strip down everytime they wanted to sit on the potty. So i spend a month all frustrated b/c clothes were flying off them and they we'd wrestle to get them dressed numerous times a day. Now they strip, go potty and let me dress them. Much easier. But, needless to say, we still don't wear panties...i'm scared!!! good luck, jena
