Does anyone else have a toddler who wants to take off their clothes all the time???

My oldest has just turned 22 mths and suddenly she is obsessed with always taking her clothes off... it is driving me nuts. I have tried time out and verbal boundaries... but nothing is working so far.

I asked my Mum if my sister and I were ever like that, and she said no - although I was known for changing into lots of changes of clothes - but not doing the naked thing!

She is going to get very cold in winter!

Any ideas ladies??

I have one of these as well, I pretty much let him hang out in just a nappy. ( a cloth one with snaps as he takes disposables and velcro nappies off!).

He also tries to take his clothes off as I'm putting them on him which is most annoying. I find that trousers need to be a good fit, preferable with a button or belt or both then he can't get them off and he has trouble removing long sleeved tops

I'm hoping that he will realise in winter that it is much nicer to have warm clothes on than be naked and cold, but we will see.

No ideas sorry, but will be watching this as my boy drives me bonkers with his streaking. Not cool when he takes off his own pooey nappy (he has worked out the snaps on his cloths grrr)

I think this is a thing they do. I have a photo of my DD running about in the garden starkers after a bath and she was 5.

They learn very quickly to put clothes on if it's cold and it they are at home I wouldn't worry one little bit. Out in public you can just say that it's not the right thing to do and everyone else has clothes on.

Rhiannon has just been through this stage, and i just let her go, they dont seem to feel the cold, and im sure coming into the colder weather they wont do it as much, (and from experience the more i tried to stop her the more she did it).

Rhiannon has spent most of the last 3 mths running around in just her undies, (at home, the grandparents and even kindy), (although at kindy i was there at the time).

ROFL I had two of these, Hannah was particularly bad for it. The best thing is to not worry about it. They are just happy to do something for themselves, and undressing is what it is! Unfortunately it takes another couple of months to learn dressing hehe. Don't stress - she will grow out of it before winter.

Oh dear glow, that's why I got rid of the velcro naps but thank god he can't undo the snaps yet

Yeah if Spencer was toilet trained I wouldn't insist on the nappy but hey you have to draw the line somewhere.

Yep Isla has done it too,..shes now at the 'Its fun to see how many layers of clothes I can where at once" stage,..and thats halerious too. I never worried about her stripping, just let her go for it, and she has stopped. She has to have a nappy on tho.

Thanks for your thoughts ladies... glad to hear others out there are having to deal with the Nakie toddler train too.

Just hope she doesn't do it tomorrow - she is a flower girl at a wedding!! ... luckily the taking off clothes thing has only happened at home or in the car.... so hopefully not down the aisle!

lol toddlers are great and confusing fun! Mine doesn't do that thankfully but my little brother did and he would strip down anywhere! Even when we were out, the minute he noticed no one was looking he'd be starkers, even the nappy came off. Luckily he grew out of it after a few months, I wouldn't worry too much winter will stop it for you.
