[quote=Anonymous]Just curious, if you have an elementary age boy does he ask to paint his nails? Is there an age or scenario in which you either do or don't let him?

I have one 3rd grade boy and he loves nail polish. I have been letting him paint as much as he wants all summer. I hope he can keep doing so during the school year if he wishes but am just curious what the vibe is. He was at a private school until now where nail polish was against the dress code for everyone. I'm trying to navigate if other kids are going to tease him or comment in public school? He is super boyish, athletic, generally kind of disheveled and not in to fashion honestly, and I'm not sure what it is about the nail polish that he likes so much. The friends he has seen this summer, boy and girl either don't notice or tell him they like it. If he will stand out in a negative way come the school year I will try to think of how to prepare him for that. Part of my asking is that he will be the new kid this coming year.

Thanks for sharing your experience![/quote]
