At what age do you feel children should be made to forced to wear clothes, at home, in a variety of situations?

Recently there was an article in the New York Times, and there was a discussion this morning on the Today Show (July 24, 2009) regarding children and nakedness. Some parents insist it’s acceptable for children of any age to go naked while at home. Others find it makes them uncomfortable. Some couples disagree on whether or not it’s permissable, or visitors to their homes don’t agree that it’s ok. There were examples cited of children that could be naked in the house, but not in the front of the house where others could see them. Some discussed the grandparents feeling children should be more modest. Other parents felt that naked children might invite problems from child molesters. What is your opinion on children being naked in the home? How bout outside? At what age do you feel children should be forced to wear clothes?

For the record, i have a two year old who does not go naked for long in the house, because when she goes to the bathroom without a diaper on, guess who will have to clean it up?
