HAHA Well not a proffesional, but am a mother of 2 girls and 1 little boy. Both my girls who are smart beyond thier ages have had that same issue. Get used to nudity till about 4 1/2. My now 6yr old went through it the worst and she is the extremly smart one, in kindergarden and doing second grade work smart. She loves to dress up and does ballet. She won't wear panties even still to this day. Says they hurt. I just got her last year to wear jeans where as my older daughter wouldn't wear them till 9. Both girls prefered to be nudests till about 4 to 4 1/2. People said I was spoiling them and should make them wear clothes, but they don't kow the stress it put on me and the girls to take on that battle. Soon we learned to compromise. I would just let them go out in dress up clothes so long as they put on shorts underneath. I still let them go around the house naked. It does get better as they get older you just have to endure the next year or so till then. Good Luck!!! If it doesn't get better by 4 then maybe a problem, but its pretty normal. Since both mine went through it I wasn't to worried.

Seriously, I'm not going to read this if you're going to type it in all caps. It's annoying and it makes it look like you need the help here..
