It is so natural for children to enjoy living life without clothes on. It is only when we as adults decide that children at a certain should never see a naked form or be seen naked because it involves sex. This is a sad way to view life where sex is corrupt and that naked can only lead to sex and surely, if looking at a naked body only brings thoughts of sex to your mind, then one seriously needs help.
When children are allowed to continue to own the decision making process of whether to wear clothes or not, most will prefer to stay naked, wearing clothing only when they feel like it. Allowing children to own this decision making process over their self creates an ownership of their self. They learn that it is their body, not the churches or the politicians or some other group with a vested interest. It is theirs.
So what happens when your children live in a clothing optional household and are home schooled?
Home schooling saves on the expense of buying school uniforms for one and staying home for your schooling provides children with the ability to determine if they are dressed or not, the choice to learn clothed or unclothed. Unless you're visiting somewhere such as the Botanical Gardens or somewhere else public, there is no requirement for them to dress should they so wish.
Today, our three home schooled children had a science experiment where they looked at liquid/solid - expansion due to heat. Their experiment was to make and bake cup cakes which also provided the chance to fit in maths - measurements and counting. Language also was included where our eight year old daughter read out aloud the directions for making the cup cakes.
All that mess made by cooking such as the egg splattered child or the chocolate coated children from the mixture. Now imagine were they wearing clothes? All that extra washing to do with the hope that the chocolate does not stain their clothing. No, only a wipe down is all it takes to clean our natural clothing - skin.
The cup cakes were yummy by the way.
