Doctor, Playing doctor, or Doctors and nurses is a children's game linked to sexual curiosity. It is seen by most as a common part of normal sexual development between ages 3 and 5, but is a source of discomfort to some parents.
Parenting professionals often advise parents to use the discovery their child has been playing doctor to explain the differences between the sexes, and to teach them about modesty, as most societies do not condone nudism, and some children may wish to touch or poke others against their will unless taught otherwise.
