Based on my first experience at a coed nude beach it's not new to any children if there are any there. Once you get there even if you feel shy at first you will realize that nobody is really looking at you as if it is anything unusual and you will relax and feel totally comfortable.
The children at family friendly resorts have most likely been around nudists of all ages all their life. For them, nudity is normal and natural. They would probably pay more attention to you if you were wearing clothes. Relax and just pretend you are at any other family friendly event (baseball game, Disneyland, the zoo, etc) only everyone is much more comfortable because they don't have anyone judging them on the clothes they are wearing.

Been there, done that. and yes, he said it!
The truth is that the kids couldnt care less about you or anything else other than whatever activity it is they are doing in the moment. They usually dont give a sh*t that they or anyone else is nude. If they are around 6 or 7 years old they may look at naked people a little more because they are starting to understand about their genitals but its in a curiosity way and nothing else. There are many, like my children, who may be standoffish if an adult they dont know were to approach them. I would suggest you dont do that unless invited by the parents. In reality, though, theyre not going to pay much attention to you or anyone else.
Thank you all for the advice. I certainly have no plans to approach anyone....I usually avoid kids in every setting lol....so, no problem there. It will just be a bit weird to be visible......but, they're used to it....I'm the one who has to adjust.
Having worked at a nude resort for a period of time, my view on any concerns - about being seen by families with kids - is all in the eyes of the viewee. I took many calls from people who had questions about coming to visit here for the first time, and as such, they were often totally unfamiliar with social nudism and what to expect.
Some callers were aghast to find out we had families with children visiting, and some would even hang up immediately, falsely thinking our family friendly resort was some kind of pervert's paradise -- a thought completely removed from reality. Wouldn't you think some authority would have closed down such a place before forty-two wonderful years in operation? It was always curious to me what was going on in the heads of these callers, whether it was the belief that they would weird out seeing youngsters in their natural state, or maybe they felt they'd be personally prone to becoming aroused around them. There are needed, appropriate rules and protocols in place at any resort like ours - that allows everyone to visit - rules that ultimately address the minuscule number of adults who are unable to control themselves while naked around others. There will always be some who cannot differentiate nudism from sexuality; some can, some will never be able to. People reading this post will hopefully be the former.
We are a tight-knit community, and whenever children are present, every member is watching out for any possible danger, on constant, close watch for anyone who might pose a threat or become a potential problem. It is unfortunate, but no matter what screening process a new visitor is put through on their initial visit, some creep could figure out how to work the system and fool the staff and gain access to the resort and try to get away with something. It won't take long to find out, examples of behaviour like that person wearing something over their privates at the pool area, or seeming to gravitate to the lounge chairs nearer to the playground area, or using their cell phone without the camera lenses covered by approved stickers, or pretending to be asleep with their sunglass-obscured eyes trained in the direction of a family. Sometimes it happens on their first (and also their last) visit, and I've seen it occur with someone who'd been visiting for years. All are dealt with swiftly and without refund, walked to their car and escorted to the gate, and banned for life. At no time will a child be left alone in a position or situation that might become a threat to their safety inside our gates. WTR security gives way to Southampton County officers if any belligerence is offered by the offending person.

Good points....The only time I remember it odd, I was at Shangra la years ago. I always walk around free. Walked into office and one of the owners kids,maybe 9 or 10 year old was doing homework behind counter. I froze for a second, then thought many people walk through the same front door just like me. So just asked them what ever I was asking, turend around and walked back to my cabin. That is the only time, and you dont see many kids usually and if you do, they are just being kids and playing and running around.

'so
So you are not working at the resort any more?
Do you still live there full time?
I am planning my very first trip to a naturist resort. The resort is family friendly, but do allow singes. My question for the more experienced members is: How did you deal with the fact that you will be nude in front of children? I understand that my body is certainly nothing special, and that as family nudists, the children have seen more naked bodies in their short lives than I have in my entire lifetime, but the thought is still a bit......uncomfortable. Advice?
As a nudist parent with 3 children who we have been taking to the nudist resort for 4 years now, the best advice I can give you is be polite. Smile at the parents if they look your way, say hello. But for the most part just ignore the kids, I can promise you they aren't interested in getting your attention, they are either wanting to have fun in the pool or looking for their friends. Its truly not as weird as you think its gonna be. Everyone there is there because they enjoy being nude, enjoy being social, enjoy being in the pool...the kids are no different, they are just smaller than us adults.
I will say the number 1 rule at our family resort is this, If you don't know the children then you don't talk to them. Do not confront them, don't try to carry on a conversation with them, definitely don't try to put yourself in a position where you are in their personal space..these things can be seen as red flags to the parents right away if you are not a trusted adult they know. In the 4 years we have been going to our resort I've only seen one guy even try anything like what I said, he cornered my oldest and my best friend's child in the pool at night. He was confronted by parents immediately, he tried to play it off as the kids cornered him in the pool and wouldn't let him leave. He then proceeded to act weird around a few of the adult females including one who worked in the office. He was reported to the office the next morning(it was late) and he was removed from the grounds. You may very well feel uncomfortable being nude around other people's children; that's understandable. But I can promise you the kids aren't uncomfortable and unless you're acting weird their parents aren't either, they are just there to have fun. Chat with other adults, read a book, relax in the pool, whatever you would typically do.
