We never bed shared once kiddo learned to sleep at least 7 hours straight, 
and thank God they all sleep like angels, but our kids have all seen both of 
us naked. They're 13, 9 and 4. We don't go out of the way to flash them, but 
they've walked in our room when I've been getting dressed and although I 
respect my older son at this point by getting on my garment quickly I don't 
ever make a big deal out of it. When we travel and we're in one hotel room 
it's not always easy to be modest. My kids are absolutely respectful about 
others not seeing them naked, they know what is right and wrong in terms of 
their body. But they haven't been conditioned to freak out when they see 
their family member's in the nude. I think it's unhealthy to be too far in 
either direction in this department.
