I think it would be more helpful to ask your daughter what pants she will wear.

When exactly does it become super cool and funny for a parent to hear their kid being snarky and making fun of clothing or other kids whatever (insert preference here)? Because I would be horrified at my 11 year old for being an asshat.

This thread makes me think most people here don't even know what jeggings look like. They look like tight jeans:

I wouldn't have a problem with a young girl wearing them.

having gone through this a few years ago when they were preteens -- choose your battles. Unless they go to private school and wear uniforms you are in for a shock when you see what girls wear to HS. jeggings look modest.

However, mine prefer skinny to jeggings b/c jeggings tend to roll up around the waist and then fall down, so they are stuck pulling them up all day. There is a reason they are always on sale. At my teens HS, every girl looks just like the picture (more or less)

Tell us, from your angle, what's happening in the boy department for HS girls.

OMG my old post. So 2 years later... Outgrew that phase. Now wear those ugly jogging shorts.

"All Grown Up and No Where to Go" is about tweens who are allowed inappropriate behavior, written by child psychologist David Elkind.

You may want to read it.

I would like to know more, before I order the book. Does he say that 10-year-old girls who wore leggings as pants grow up to be teenagers who behave badly?

He said you need to be careful with what you allow, and when.
