A mother still showers in front of her 18-year-old daughter to show her what a real body looks like.
Angela Karanja, 48, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, has been stripping naked in front of Dee since she was a baby.
He sees no point in stopping now, even though Dee is an adult, because he wants to teach her to be comfortable in her own skin.
Psychologist Angela said she wants her daughter to know that the bodies on social media are not real.
Psychologist Angela Karanja, 48, and her daughter Dee, 18, from Banbury. They shower and bathe together to promote body positivity.
Angela said she was determined to teach her daughter how to be comfortable in her own skin and that bathing together has played a huge role.
She said: ‘Our bodies are the vessels we have to live in. This is what we have, we should be happy and proud of it.
‘Especially for girls, I think if we don’t show them what’s real when they grow up, they’ll be subjected to a lot of photoshopped images and think they’re not enough.
“My idea is to show them what is real and that when they see an edited image it does not threaten them and they know that they are enough.”
Her daughter, Dee Karanja, an 18-year-old student, said: ‘This has made me feel comfortable because now I know what reality is like.
Angela stated that her daughter is ‘confident’ and ‘happy’ in her body, thanks to her efforts
Angela and Dee brush their teeth together. The couple bathes and showers together regularly, and Angela said being naked doesn’t “reveal” anything. She is just showing the real her.
Dee said her mother’s efforts have taught her body confidence and self-respect.
‘We may not always love our bodies, but we should still respect them because we only have one body.
“If we love our bodies, no matter what anyone says, you won’t feel bad about yourself.”
Angela said that showering in front of her daughter since she was little has helped her be “confident” and “happy” in her body.
She said: ‘We should help our young people to feel comfortable with who they are.
‘It’s really nice to see her self-confidence as she’s grown.
Angela said that first thing in the morning she will happily walk naked through the house to get to the bathroom.
Dee doesn’t mind seeing her mother naked in the house because she was raised that way to instill confidence in her body.
‘We know that people have different body shapes and all kinds, don’t forget that I have things that fall towards the south.
“It’s important to show that people change.”
Angela said she will also walk around the house naked, and this doesn’t faze her daughter since it’s what she was raised on.
“First thing in the morning I wake up and go naked to the bathroom,” she said.
‘This is me, this is who I am before I wear clothes.
‘When we come to terms with who we are, nothing outside threatens you.
‘Confidence is not about the clothes I wear or the makeup I wear.
“Don’t get me wrong, I wear nice clothes, but it’s not to hide or make people think I’m someone else.”
Angela said people will tell her she is brave and some will ask her why she does it.
He said he always chooses to “educate” people about why he does it instead of arguing with them.
Angela said: ‘People tell me I’m subjecting children to something they shouldn’t see.
‘I said, “Ok, are you telling me my kids shouldn’t know I have boobs or a butt?”
‘When I’m naked it’s not like I’m opening up. It’s me, being me.
“Those who oppose it say that I shouldn’t show them my papers, but that children should know how to feel comfortable with themselves.”
Recently, Bradley Cooper revealed that his father was “always naked” and “showered with him” when he was a child.
Bradley said this has made him comfortable being naked when his six-year-old oldest daughter is around.
