I have always been a very comfortable person with my body and i don't see the need to hide myself away from my son, i still bathe with him because if i'm gonna get a bath, well he may as well do too, saves water and he loves having a bath, plus we play with his boats and stuff
My issue is trying to divert his attention from body parts and teach him not to stare, i know this is all perfectly normal for a toddler to do (heck he's amazed he has a willy!) but this is his own body, and of course i'm fine with him realising he has different parts from a girl (he has also seen his cousin naked when he has stayed with my big sister and her daughter, they are the same age)
How can i let him know it's not good to stare at people? He goes swimming frequently with his daddy and i've noticed he stares at people there too I know he's just curious but i don't think i'd be too pleased if i saw another child gawping at Ollies parts..
Sorry if this post seems all over the place, i've found it quite awkward to try and voice exactly what i mean, i know i'm not the reason he stares at people because that is inevitable, but i wanna try and teach him not to, as it seems he just gets upset when i tell him no, but doesn't take in WHY...
