When nudity at home becomes a problem

There is a real difference. Shame is when you hide your body because you are afraid of or ashamed of it. Privacy is when you keep your body private because it belongs to you and you might not want to share it by having other people look at it.

Generally, 3-year-olds are starting to become aware of their own bodies and their body parts. Your daughter should be taught the correct names for her body parts and for yours, her mom's and her brothers'.

At around her age, she should also start to learn that her body is her own and that she has a right to keep it private (this is what her mother chooses to do) if she wants to.

Privacy doesn't translate into a bad body image unless your daughter is taught that her body is something to be ashamed of.

Although I think it's perfectly OK for your daughter to see her dad and brothers nude, as she grows older you should be aware of and responsive to her own sensitivities. If your nudity embarrasses her -- even if it doesn't embarrass you -- then it's time to wear a towel.
