My spelling is horrible tonight so please bear with me.

Did or are you going through a modisty issue with your child? My son is 2 and screams and covers himself up down there when he is naked. He doesn't want anyone to see him like that.

Any suggestions on getting him alright with this? Bath times are horrible.:tired

It's totally natural. My boy won't let me see him either.

Perhaps it's time that you start protecting his privacy from people that he's modest towards?

Have you considered running him a shower? Letting him clean himself? I mean, you obviously can't leave him alone in the tub, but you can teach him to shower properly, right?

i have no advice for you. i was the opposite as a child, i stripped down anywhere and everywhere. they practically taped my clothes on.

maybe you could try talking to him and being like how come you are embarrased by your body? it's okay for mommy and daddy to see you this way at bath time, etc etc

I didnt go through that with my son until he was around 6. My daughter doesnt care if I see her naked cause we have the same stuff.
