[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have two preschool age boys. Our kids look stereotypically Latino ( since Latinos can be of any race, I mean what most people think of as Latino - brown skin not white skin with blond hair). I try to dress them in collard shirts, matching tops and pants, no sweats or white t-shirts. Maybe I am paranoid, but when they are dressed up as opposed to dressed down I get compliments about their behavior. It also seems like if we are at the park more moms will talk to me if my sons are dressed well. When I read topics on this board about letting your child dress in pj's or a costume to school, I would never allow it unless it is a specific dress up day. One boy at my child's preschool has worn pj's to school almost everyday the past year. In my mind people think if you are a white kid in pj's, you are a creative kid, while a AA/Latino child would be seen as having a lazy ghetto mom. Just wondering if Latino/AA moms thought the same.[/quote]
