It might help to understand why your child doesn’t like wearing clothes in the first place. There are a few reasons children strip down as often as possible.

Don’t you wish you still felt as free and accepting of your body as you did when you were a child? Kids don’t feel the need to cover up because they don’t understand their own anatomy yet.
