I have no qualms walking around in the buff in front of my daughters. And they do the same with me. We even take showers together if we´re pressed for time. My girls are now 14 and 11, but we've taken baths together since they were born.

I have no qualms walking around in the buff in front of my daughters. And they do the same with me. We even take showers together if we´re pressed for time. My girls are now 14 and 11, but we've taken baths together since they were born.
I was raised in a country (Spain) where nudity in beaches and pools is normal.
This doesn´t mean we'd do it just anywhere. Now that we're a blended family and because we live in the U.S., I tell my girls to cover up when walking around the house, and of course I do the same. There is such a thing as common sense. If I were with my father-in-law or with my husband's employer, of course I would wear a top.
Otherwise, I'm happy to report my girls and I are comfortable enough with our bodies that, given the chance, we´ll quickly undress and enjoy a wonderful sense of freedom. If we had the chance to lounge around in a beach in Europe we'd be quite comfortable going topless. Heck, I even sleep naked if I can.
In Spain you can see toddlers running around the beach naked and nobody bats an eye. Girls don't wear bikini tops until they really need to, for support, and maybe not even then. Are there oglers and rapists behind a bush ready to pounce? Well no, not really. I mean, I´m sure men look, but when there are so many breasts to gaze at, it´s just not that big of a deal.
The human body is a beautiful thing, and yes, there is a time and place for everything. But breastfeeding in public or baring your breasts at the beach doesn´t need to be sexualized. In Scandinavia families hang out together, naked, in the sauna or the jacuzzi.

My eldest was very aware of this difference between Spain and the United States even as a little girl. So up until she started puberty, she wore her hair in a bob and went to the beach or the pool wearing boy´s swimming trunks. Most of the time she'd be mistaken for a boy, but sometimes people asked. I would say, yeah, she's a girl. Or maybe she'd answer herself. She was, of course, as flat-chested as a boy. This deal of wearing swimming trunks all came about after she was told at four years old, to wear a top at a public pool. At four!
I remember asking the pool manager why my daughter had to cover up because she didn´t even have breasts! He said it was a rule. Well, unless you find a way around it, when in Rome. Well, I'm glad my daughter did find a way around it: boy's swimming trunks. For that, I'm proud of her.
What´s your take on nudity around your children?

Justine Kurland: Girl Pictures – includes newly discovered and previously unpublished images. All photographs by Justine Kurland ; story by Rebecca Bengal
One Red, One Blue, 2000 As Bengal writes about the pictures: ‘The girls were rebelling. The girls were acting out. The girls had run away from home, that much was clear. They were trying on a version of themselves that the world had thus far shown them was “boy”’ …
Boy Torture: Two-Headed Monster,1999 … ‘Cowboys, sailors, pirates, hitchhikers, hobos, train hoppers, explorers, catchers in the rye, lords of the flies – you name it, all the dominion of boys. If you wanted a place in the narrative, you had to imagine yourself inside of it’
Shipwrecked, 2000 The series was described in the Observer as ‘the myth of the American west meets the energy of riot grrrl’
Snow Angels, 2000 The North American frontier is an enduring symbol of romance, rebellion, escape and freedom
Candy Toss, 2000 At the same time, it’s a profoundly masculine myth, from cowboys to beat poets
Poison Ivy, 1999 Girls swim in a sun-dappled watering hole – paying no mind to the camera
Golden Field, 1998 ‘I staged the girls as a standing army of teenaged runaways in resistance to patriarchal ideals,’ says Kurland
The Wall, 2000 Kurland portrays the girls as fearless and free, tender and fierce. They hunt and explore, braid each other’s hair and roam
Daisy Chain, 2000 Their world is at once lawless and utopian, a frontier Eden in the wild spaces just outside of suburban infrastructure and ideas
