Is There Any Harm In 4 Year Old Boy Wanting To Dress In Female Clothes Occasionally?
Is there any harm in my 4 year old grandson wanting to occasionally dress in female clothes? I say it is a phase, some family members don't like it at all. We are a straight, conservative family. I think he is just exploring and only does it occasionally in the house.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Children usually have a variety if interests.
Wearing female dress at times is not a disease.
When he grows up he will get rid of this habit soon.
Nothing to worry about it.
If it persists when he grows up also then you may have to a psychiatrist.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
