Why you shouldn’t be ashamed of bathing with your kids

2015.10.16

Sexuality is something that everyone eventually discovers, but the world would be a better place if people understood that it is supposed to have a context. Breasts exist to nourish and comfort babies. There is nothing sexual about a mom exposing part of her breast while feeding her child. Yet when that same woman straps on an industrial-strength push-up bra and a low-cut dress in an attempt to distract her husband from Monday Night Football, he might become aroused. Otherwise, doctor’s offices, nude beaches, art studios and lactation consultants would be very uncomfortable environments. Children will never learn to make these distinctions if we do not give them the tools and experiences to do so.

Rather than concentrate on shaming our children for their bodies in a desperate attempt to shield them from the sins of the internet, it would be healthier to teach our children that their bodies are natural, beautiful, and universal: that the sight of another human being’s thigh, hip, neck, or breasts is not cause for remark or leering. They are simply appendages like a hand or a foot, and the sooner our kids get used to seeing them, the better. Otherwise, we might as well lock our children away in a gilded tower until they come of age and can be revealed to the dirty world.
