Would you let your 3 year old go play in street naked? On hot days. It's not a main Street or anything.

Probably not, just in pants would be ok though. Call me a prude but I don't think anybody needs to be naked in public, regardless of age!

Not in the street no. Garden yes.

On a small street, probably. I wouldn't encourage it but I wouldn't fight about it either. I would make sure, however, that she was in the shade so she didn't get a nasty sunburn.

No I don't like children to be naked as it doesn't feel hygienic to me and I always feel that their skin is more delicate in areas that are usually covered up, so more likely to burn.

I live on a quiet, kid friendly street in a hot country. No one does this ever.

In own garden, yes. In street, absolutely not.

Thank you to the ones who replied sensibly and kindly. She was playing with water in front garden and wouldn't keep her clothes on as they got wet. She didn't want to put different clothes on or a costume. It's a quiet street, quite small.

Absolutely not.
Costume on or indoors.
You never know who could be looking/secretly taking photos etc even on a quite road

Front garden isn't quite the street ,so in your situation I wouldn't have an issue with it.

No. Not the garden either. Pants are best if only to keep dirt out.

Helpful for young children to understand boundaries. Private parts can't be looked at or touched by others.
