Mum Says She Showers In Front Of Teenage Daughter To Normalise Bodies by Ilekokonit: 12:08am On Apr 09 |
I shower in front of my 18-year-old daughter and she's seen me naked since she was a baby - people say it's wrong, but I'm teaching her body confidence A mother still showers in front of her 18-year-old daughter - to show her what a real body looks like. Angela Karanja, 48, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, has been stripping off in front of Dee since she was a baby. She sees no point in stopping now, even though Dee is an adult - beacause she wants to teach her about being comfortable in her own skin. Psychologist Angela said she wants her daughter to know that bodies on social media aren't real. She said: 'Our bodies are the vessels that we have to live in. This is what we have, we should be happy and proud of it. 'Especially for girls, I think if we don't show them what is real when they grow older they will get subjected to a lot of Photoshopped pictures and think they are not enough. 'My idea is to show them what is real and when they see an edited picture it doesn't threaten them and they know they are enough.' Daughter, Dee Karanja, 18, a student, said: 'This has made me feel comfortable because now I know what reality is like. 'We may not always love our bodies, but even so we should respect it because we only get one body. 'If we love our bodies then no matter what anyone says you won't feel bad about yourself.' Angela said showering in front of her daughter from a young age has helped her daughter become 'confident' and 'happy' in her body. She said: 'We should help our young people be comfortable with who they are. 'It is so nice to see the confidence in her own self as she has grown. 'We know that people have different body shapes and all sorts, don't forget I have things falling to the south. 'It is important to show people do change.' Angela said she will also walk around the house naked, and her daughter isn't fazed by this as it is what she has been brought up around. 'First thing in the morning, I will wake up and walk out naked to the bathroom,' she said. 'This is me, this is who I am before I wear clothes. 'When we come to terms with who we are nothing out there threatens you. 'Confidence is not about the clothes I am wearing or the make-up I have. 'Don't get me wrong, I wear nice clothes but it is not to conceal or make people think I am someone else.' Angela said people will tell her she is brave and some people will question why she does it. She said she always chooses to 'educate' people on why she does it rather than argue with them. Angela said: 'People tell me that I am subjecting children to something they shouldn't see. 'I am like, "Ok, you're telling me that my children should not know I have breasts or a bum?". 'When I am naked it is not like I am opening myself up. It is me, being me. 'Those who object say I should not show them my parts but children should know how to feel comfortable in themselves.' Recently, Bradley Cooper revealed that his dad was 'always nude' and would 'take showers with him' when he was a kid. Bradley said this has made him comfortable being nude when his six year older daughter is around. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13283783/Mother-shower-daughter-naked-body-confidence.html https://uk.style.yahoo.com/mum-showers-teenage-daughter-normalise-bodies-101253592.html 1 Share

if it is only single mama with her daughter then cool, but if there is any male in the picture (Father/brother) then i think it will be awkward. i once saw that shiiiit back in Norway where my "in-laws" came out of the bathroom and walked pass me BUTTNAKED (with no shame in the world). i guess TO EACH THEIR OWN, 1 Like |

MrBrownJay1: You can see the picture, of course it's a mother and her daughter. No normal father would bathe with his daughter, it makes no sense. Even bathing with your son as a man in today's society would be seen negatively... So your in-laws like some nudity lol... That's probably their own way of welcoming you to the family 😆 Scandinavians have a weird culture, but hope say e no pass that one sha 👀 |

I think this sort of positive reinforcement should become a tradition in more African homes/communities, with mothers teaching their daughters to embrace and own the bodies they are born with. Same of course for the males. This culture of body shaming which has been a norm for many generations should be done away with. |

santaclaws: as much as mothers and daughters are close, i think after a certain age there needs to be some privacy between mum and daughter. but hey, some may be closer to their child than other, but yeah i dont think this stuff could/should happen with a dad and son. my in-laws are not nudists o, but at the same time they were not that heavy on it hiding their nudity in the morning... aka coming out of the bathroom naked or leaving the door of bathroom open type of shiit. Kobojunkie: but body positivity can also have an impact on that said child who is open minded about it, and who may be viewed as something else by other kids (especially boys). imagine Nigeria where even seeing a woman not wearing a bra (aka tittays jiggling under her top), makes some men lose their goddamn minds. 1 Like |

Ha! My fathers would say "longevity or not seeing evil. You'd have to choose one" How many years have I lived gan that I've started seeing evil. Teaching confidence by being naked around your kid who is now grown? I now believe that every second at one particular place on earth, someone, somewhere is moving mad. These people have an agenda. Don't you see they be trying to push incest and homosexuality? 3 Likes 1 Share |

FRANCISTOWN: You have the very eyes of our fathers. My people do not be deceived. The world did not start today. Do not allow the media push such beliefs into our system. It's utterly wrong. I do not down play the affection of mother and daughter or building body confidence but is bathing with her at adult age, the only way to teach her thIs supposed moral. Shalom!! 3 Likes 1 Share |

There should be an age where one should stop. Also considering the rate of homosexuality, one should make sure one mustn't preach the wrong message. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Teaching gone too far... Nothing wrong with teaching your daughter to be confident in her own skin. Is this the best and only way to teach her? This is extreme. Too much of everything is bad. Na so lesbianism take dey start! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Has Bradley Cooper lost his mind? He shouldn't be comfortable being nude around his six years old daughter. If it was a male child, it would have been different. |
