"   On Monday, we asked our readers how they felt about being naked around their kids. 24 percent of moms don&amp;#039;t see any harm in a little nudity when their children are really young. After 3 years old, though, these moms agreed that it&amp;#039;s time to start covering up. Reader Beccie shares a hilarious story about the downside of not being modest sooner. She writes, &amp;quot;I think its ok &amp;#039;til they&amp;#039;re about 3-ish. My husband showered with his boys until the toddler reached up a yanked daddy&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;chain,&amp;#039; plunging him to his knees screaming!&amp;quot; Your kid&amp;#039;s curiosity may be a bit more than you bargained for during your morning shower.  Blogger Alice Bradley supports the age limit as well, citing her 8-year-old son&amp;#039;s propensity for no-holds-barred questioning. She says, &amp;quot;For starters, being naked, or even semi-naked, in front of my son would invite all manner of awful questions. Questions like, &amp;quot;Why is that part of your body all bumpy?&amp;quot; And then he would share that information with his friends. I really don&amp;#039;t want Henry telling all his best pals how long it&amp;#039;s been since my last bikini wax.&amp;quot;  Some moms waited a while longer to put the no-nudity rule into action. 25 percent of parents reported that they encouraged more modesty in kids once they hit their tweens. But is parental nudity just a numbers game? Reader Sonja disagrees that nudity around the house helps kids feel comfortable about their bodies. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not about shame, it&amp;#039;s about not making your kids uncomfortable. My dad walked around in his tighty-whities when I was a preteen and teenager and it was horrifying to me. Way too awkward.&amp;quot; So for the 22 percent of readers who are fine with everyone walking around in their underwear \u2014 you may want to double check with your possibly horrified pre-teen daughter.  A low percentage of readers were on completely opposites sides of the debate \u2014 13 percent said nudity was never okay in their homes, and 14 percent proudly professed belonging to &amp;quot;naked&amp;quot; households.  Whatever your preference is, we can all agree that the best decision is what&amp;#039;s most comfortable for you and your family.  Thanks to everyone who voted. Stay tuned Monday for the next edition of The Great Mom Debate: What age is appropriate for girls to wear makeup? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
