[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 yo DD needs new sneakers. She picked out a pair at Target that are light up sneakers (like the toes light up when you walk) and have a little bow on them. They look like toddler sneakers to me (I did not say this) but they do come in her size online (the selection in store was terrible anyway). I had her look at a bunch of sneakers including a bunch that look a bit more mature -- these are the ones she wants.

The only hesitation I have is that I worry she will be teased for wearing something too young for her. I don't personally care if she wears them, I'm just second guessing if it is my role to encourage her to wear something more mature to help her fit in.

I went to order them this morning but then had a moment of second guessing myself so I'm asking here: do I just buy her the sneakers she asked for or do I try to talk her into a more mature pair of shoes?[/quote]

I think you should buy them.  You can buy another 'plain' ones for school but honestly why would you want to  squash her personality?[/quote]
