How do i encourage my son keep his clothes on?

Question

My son is 2 and he likes to run around the place butt naked, which im cool with because thats my baby. But......... guests, mainly men find it rather un-nerving which i can understand. Also when we go to peoples houses, it's a constant battle to keep his clothes on. I've tried stripping him down to a t-shirt and his pants so he feels like he has some freedom, but it doesn't work. Any ideas would be great. As he's starting nursery in september.

Answer 1

I think you must go shopping with your son and  buy something new thing( pants,shorts...),when you  buy something to him, ask him which one he likes.absulately because of he wears what he wants, he will not the same behavior.

Answer 2

Hun we have had this trouble with Thomas pictured left for the longest time when he was younger , i would sugest you buy him something he likes to wear, what we did was in the house if he wears pants its ok as long as he wears these ? if so if he takes them off always just put them straight back on and just keep doing this until he knows he needs to keep them on, as Thomas did he knew in the end that he must need to keep them on and just do the same with clothing and tell him to keep them on and just be consistant with the putting them straight back on again, he will learn to keep them on ...he will soon !

Answer 3

well, this might be a little unorthodox, but you yourself said it doesn't bother you, so - i would tell him there will be times that he can be naked, but if he tries to be naked at other times, he won't get those designated times.  Then, about 2-3 times a week, let him run around the house naked for about a half hour to an hour.  Then, when he tries at someone else's house, remind him that "this isn't the time for that" and if he persists, you might have to take away "naked time" and if you do, make sure you tell him, I was going to give you naked time today, but you tried to be naked at a bad time, so you have to miss it today.

And yes, i realize i will probably get some thumbs downs for this one, but oh well.
