Summary
A recent case concerning a woman being judged for being topless at home with her stepchildren has brought up the debate about whether it's harmful for children to see their parents naked. Research suggests that non-sexualized parental nudity has potential benefits for children, including helping them develop realistic body expectations, understand consent and boundaries, and feel safer from sexual abuse.
