4yo always wants to be naked

I posted a few weeks ago about DD who will be 4 next month. We recently moved to Germany and she had been enrolled in Kindergarten for 25 hours a week after only doing 4 hours a week at nursery in the UK. She hadn't been coping very well and against pretty much everyone here advisement I reduced her hours at Kindergarten, and now she seems much much better. She gets the alone time with adults she has had all her life, and has a more manageable amount of time at Kindergarten.

So onwards and upwards. Does anyone else's LOs have an obsession with being naked? I can mostly convince DD to get dressed in the morning and now that she's happier at Kindergarten she has mostly stopped stripping off there, which I think was for attention but, the minute we get home, or she gets angry she strips off and will spend most of the day without anything on. She does complain that she's cold, but for love nor money can I get her dressed once she's stripped off.

Maybe for some reason she has found getting undressed for bed 'comforting' and that has now become a kind of 'security' for her.

I shouldn't worry unless it were to get really out of hand.
