Most Christian Psychology books tell the reader that it is normal in most cases when A man takes a shower with his same gender child. The body is good not bad. To some people it may seem wrong because you yourself may have had a bad experience with the body etc. Abused people may be more against a child of 6 or 7 taking a shower with his dad. But that doesn't make it wrong at all. The thing we need to ask is are the people taking showerrs with children molesters and obviously bad news for the child? Or they can be a healthy middle aged father that loves his children and would never think such disgusting thoughts as to abuse his child. Being naked in APPROPRIATE places is NOT wrong.View Thread

A child who takes a shower with his child is no different than bathing at the YMCA in front of everybody of different ages. Christian Psychologists would say this helps the child learn who he is and builds relationships with father and son. There is NO fear in them becoming gay because he sees his father naked.View Thread

It all matters what the motive is. If a dad is not a child molester and loves his children and are open about sex education (At a childs apprpriate age), then there is no harm in seeing naked bodies of the same gender.View Thread

If it makes someone uncomfortaqble than do what you're going to do, but don't place guilt onto those that choose to be normal with their bodies.View Thread

If looking at nude bodies was wrong (In appropriate places) doctors would be messed up completely. If you want to bond with your child and you don't want him or her having a bad gender identity, then keep letting the boy or girl know it is shameful to see dad or mom naked. Then you will have real problems with gender identity.
Its those that are scared to show their bodies that have the real problem. It sticks right out. Its OK to see same gender parent dress and undress so long as it in an appropriate place and the father is normal.View Thread


The bathroom is an appropriate place. There's abosolutely no fear of the child becoming harmed by seeing his own father's body.View Thread
