If you have a toddler? Does he or she always get naked?

Question

My three year old will not leave his clothes on. Everywhere we go he wants to get naked. anyone else have this problem?

Answer 1

Its extremely common. Myson felt the need to get naked to use the potty. He would have to remove all his clothing before climbing on the toilet no matter where we were.

Answer 2

Yes!

I think that's just a part of growing up.

Answer 3

Mine did that tll they were 4. LOL

They would walk in the house, strip down their clothes and go off and play in their underwear. Kids are weird- what can ya say?

Answer 4

Our 3 year old never went through this phase he loves his clothes. Even at home he needs to be fully dressed he doesn't like to not have shirt on. He will run around for a little bit without a shirt but then he'll go put one on. Now when he gets out of the tub he'll run around naked but only for a few minutes. Now, his little brother on the other hand (18 months) he loves to run around without his shirt on he'll do it all day everyday if we'd let him. I had a big shirt on him one day w/no shorts & he figured out how to take off his diaper. Luckily there were no messes to clean up & I learned my lesson! If he's been running around the house w/ no shirt & it's time to go he will put up a little bit of a fuss but gets over it. So, far he hasn't taken anything off in public.....yet! I'm waiting b/c he would be the one to do it for sure!!

its just the sense of freedom they get

and chances are you did it when you were younger

and it is the rebeliousness coming out

Answer 6

My 1 1/2 year old loves to strip down. It takes her a while to get her pants off, but when she goes the diaper goes with it.

Answer 7

Yes!  My 2 yo daughter is almost always naked in our house.  We are potty training (and she is doing great!) so she won't keep pants or undies on.  The other day she was completely nude accept for socks and a winter stocking cap.  It was cute.

My dd has taken her pants off outside in our yard but thankfully she will keep her clothes on when we are out doing errands.  Like others have said it's completely normal and he will grow past it.  

Answer 8

I have three kids.  My middle one, a girl, was always naked!  Finally one day in the middle of winter she told me she was cold, I told her to put some clothes on.  After she did, she said wow I'm warm now.  I said clothes are amazing!  That was pretty much the end of her being naked, but I do think she was about 4.

Answer 9

Yes, my daughter is 2 years old.  She walks around the house in diaper or training pants all day long.  I can't keep clothes on her.  But we have rule that if she goes outside to play, or if we got out of the house for any reason she has to wear clothes.  She knows the rule and follows it.  We have the same rule for her dolls.  She is always taking the dolls clothes off.  But she knows that if the dolls goes out with her it has to have on clothes.  Maybe when it gets cooler she will want to wear clothes on in the house, but for now it is just fine the way she is.

Answer 10

Yep.

And I don't consider it a problem.  It's a normal stage.

Answer 11

My two year old tells me naked is better...she's probably right. It's just a phase.
