Let Them Run Naked


I read somewhere that clothes are bad for health.

Yeap, you din read me wrong. Clothes are bad for health.

And that's not a remark made by some dirty old man but a very reowned holistic health practitioner, Dr Bernard Jensen, who is also known as Father of Holistic Health.

Clothes, apparently restrict our movement and prevent our skin, the largest organ on our body, to breath properly.

He is not alone with this view point. Dr Shichida, a well known educator who promotes education from the fetal stage also states in his book that we should give our children like 2 minutes everyday to run around naked so that they can enjoy the feeling of freedom.

According to Dr Shichida, it is not only good for their health but also good for the emotional development as well.

However, whether or not Dr Shichida or Dr Jensen has declared this good or not does not really matter I guess. What matters is that Ace LIKES to run around naked.

Everytime when I take off his clothes, he will run around and luff. If you start singing the song, "I feel good... da da da da da da da .." he will tap his tummy and smile at you...

And then, while he is bathing, he will attempt to play with the pails, the showerhead.. etc etc..

Once you tell him he is done and wipe him dry.. he starts running off naked all over the house again...

One warning though.. if you want to let your child do that to promote his health, do close the windows and switch off the fans lest they catch a cold.. and if YOU yourself want to get naked for some freedom therapy.. REMEMBER to close the windows and DRAW your curtains ;) hahahaa... you can get fined in singapore for indecent exposure ;)
