Interesting - it seems this is a correlation/causation thing, like how breast fed babies do "better" but actually breast-feeding is more an indicator of class than carrying any specific benefit for educational outcomes decades later.
I would suggest that nudist children prosper etc because they are from liberal, accepting, middle class families.
I have been a nudist all my life and I n the 60s and early 70s when I was living in las Angeles I started the FBA, Free Beach Association. The goal was to have a free beach in every county along the Calif. Coast. In 1974 my job moved me to the San joaquin county. When I left I turned the FBA over to a young lady whom I heard did a fabulous job in establishing the beach in Orange County. I found my new home has a 1000 miles of water ways. I bought a 25 ft cruiser and I've enjoyed being a Natutist ever since. I belong to AANR and I belong to Laguna del Sol.
My eccentric mother raised me and my sister's nudist, i'm the only boy in the family. Ever since we were very, very young, she let us run around naked inside the house. She wanted the best for us and felt that this was the best way to raise us and I am glad she did. Whenever we had nonnudist family or friends over, she made us get dressed. I would wear a shirt and shorts, and my sisters would usually pull a sundress over their heads to cover up. Thankfully our extended family is either nudist, or at the very least, very tolerant to nudity. There was never a time that I was uncomfortable seeing my sisters or mother naked and vice versa even though I was the only boy in the family.
She was very adamant about us being naked whenever we could. She taught us that our bodies were nothing to be ashamed of, and therefore, we shouldn't cover them up for any reason. Our bodies or our privates were not obscene simply for existing. I should not be ashamed or embarrassed about having a penis and my sisters should not be ashamed of having breasts and a vagina. Basically, she had a no clothes policy inside the house, as soon as we got home from school we went to our rooms to undress and do homework. Afterwards, we would come down to socialize with each other in the nude. We loved showering together, and this was/is when we frequently socialized and discussed and talked how about our day. Thankfully we had large roman style bath where we could all fit and talk to each other, where we spent a lot of time together.
We would only put something on if we had to go outside in front of the house. Thankfully our backyard was private and secluded enough so we could run around naked back there. Obviously, this was only an issue when we were living in a non nudist community or resort. We loved going to nudist resorts, i fondly remember the first time that she took us to one. Running around naked in front of other people, and in wide open natural spaces was incredibly fun and exciting for us.
My mother always used to say and still does to this day:
Thanks for listening!
