  Although Wildwilly1 didn't request this, I do want to confirm that everything he said is true! My wife and I used to be members at WTR and can attest that everything he stated is nothing but the truth. There have been many families living there with babies who lived there until they completed high school. The children all fared well and the only problems were with the administrators at the schools who assumed that something was being done wrong based on their misled assumptions about nudity. Some parents had to work to set these administrators on the right road. But the children's safety was always a high priority of the permanent members and the True Nudists Guests who were there.

  Normally, if the children have been exposed to nudity at home, then they don't pay it any attention at the resort. We've been social nudists since 2015 and have only had two negative encounters with youths and they were no big deal. Both encounters involved me and no one else thought anything about it, but me. Once was when a young boy (maybe about 10 years old) kept staring at me and more directly, at my groin area. Because he was right beside his father and there were other naked men around, I think his issue was seeing a naked Black man. I made sure to avoid him. The other encounter was at Caliente. If you are familiar with the resort, then you know that there is a lot of ground where you can walk and they have houses and apartments for a host of people. My wife and I were walking through the parking lot of the apartments as a car drove up and parked. A child got out of the car and just stared at me as I walked by. I really believe that the adult driving was just visiting someone and the child had not been exposed to nudity. I just kept walking away.

  Children usually have no problem with nudity until adults tell/teach them otherwise! As others mentioned, I never approached a child without acknowledging their parent and getting their approval before or immediately after the interaction. I never wanted to take a chance that my good intention could be taken wrongly.

  At our home, my wife and I have been nude with our grandsons and all was well for years. We told their parents and they never seemed to have a problem with it. That is until about a year ago when my wife sent them some photos of them naked in our hot tub and on the deck. Due to their parents going through a divorce at the time, they asked us to refrain from being nude around their children as they said they already had enough to navigate and explain as they went their separate ways. Their mom was concerned about them not knowing if someone was being inappropriate with them when one of the four of us was not around. Our son said he didn't want to have to explain the difference between males and females at the time if they asked because he had enough to deal with. So we stopped but our grandsons still ask us if they can take off their clothes when they are at home with us.

  [quote]A child got out of the car and just stared at me as I walked by. I really believe that the adult driving was just visiting someone and the child had not been exposed to nudity. I just kept walking away.[/quote] Kids "looking" is often because they are still new to social nudity. As unsettling as it may be; it doesn't come from the same place as adult voyeurism. It is simply curiosity. When I was 4 or 5 and went to the nude beach for the first time with my parents, I did the same thing; a lady was sunbathing "exposed" behind us. Until my Mom asked me what I was looking at. That was enough to get me to stop. I remember my ex-wife (who is african-american) being intently watched by a young boy at our resort while comfortably lounging by the pool. Being a Mom herself, my wife chose not to show discomfort and just smiled and spoke to the kid. His Mom was chatting with someone on the other side of the pool, saw her son looking at my wife, immediately came over to "get her kid" and profusely apologized. My wife did not take umbrage at all. It's ultimately the parent's responsibility to teach their kid to not stare; but I can give them a pass on not always watching their kid the entire time. Our daughter would sometimes also run off and just start talking to people (although we did tell her not to stare the first time we caught her doing it.) Regardless, if it makes someone uncomfortable, that's also understandable. And ok to turn/walk away. The lady I was looking at smiled at me at first; then simply turned away and laid on her stomach.
