Child nudity: Why the Bible endorses child nudity in the family home

Most parents want their children to be clothed, usually citing modesty. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most parents want children to keep on the clothing. This is seen as common sense by most American parents. Christian attachment parenting is attachment parenting based off of the Early Christian context. The Early Christians allowed for their children to go without the clothes everywhere they went.

Child nudity is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, and is implied in the Bible, based off of the context. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, with parent believers resting safely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishment or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Mothers in the Early Church sought to form a secure attachment with their children. What helped was the fact that both mother and child were naked in the family home, with children being naked wherever they went until adulthood. This setup was meant to both hasten the process of forming a secure attachment with children, and make it easier for mothers to hold their children in skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. 

Children, in biblical times, were constantly held as infants by mothers. Thus, when children got older, they wanted to be held by mothers frequently. Because both mother and child were naked, it resulted in easy skin-on-skin traction. Mothers, when a child was crying or tantrumming, would simply pick up their children while cooing, then hold them in their bosom in skin-on-skin fashion, reassuring children with the phrase "this too will pass".

How can the abovementioned context be applied today? Allow your children to go naked in the house from birth, with this called birth nudity. Put clothing on your baby only when they leave the house, and otherwise allow them to be naked, with you as a mother constantly holding the baby, wherever you go. Mothers should be nude whenever serving the attachment needs of children, and thus she should be naked wherever she is when in the household, ready to serve children with skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. Fathers should remain clothed, and if they find the nudity of any of their children arousing, they should indulge in masturbatory fantasy about such a child, thus purging unrequited lusts.

Child nudity is a core aspect of Christian attachment parenting. Women and children were naked in biblical times, when in the home. When outside the home, married women wore a thin, revealing dress that only covered up the basics. It was loose enough to tuck a child underneath, with the child wrapped up in swaddling blankets. When at home, mothers and children often snuggled in skin-on-skin format, or else mothers held their children in skin-on-skin format. 

By night, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with children usually not insisting on sleeping on their own until the onset of puberty. Co-sleeping is the core of all forms of attachment parenting, including Christian attachment parenting. But, you aren't really emulating the Early Christian parenting context until you, every night, have complete skin-on-skin co-sleeping next to your child. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffeiring God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, fot the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
