[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The oversexualization and policing of girls bodies so gross.

I let my 9yo wear what she wants. Including crop tops. [/quote]

I have a 7 yr old and she’s wanted to show her belly a bit and while I can’t say that I’m totally supportive, I don’t think it’s THAT big of a deal. we don’t buy actual crop tops but she bunches her baggy t shirts and ties them in a hair band or scrunchy ([b]anyone remember those pull-through plastic things that achieved that look in 1993[/b]?). This can kind of be adjusted up or down and we don’t let her go full belly at school. I am kind of surprised by the responses to the thread, I thought there would be more people saying to let her.

I 100% forgot about those. It was more like 1989 for me - I had one in junior high.[/quote]

My DD (also 7) invented her own version of that with a hair tie. It is alive and well. [/quote]

LOL, mine too! She does it with a scrunchie, which I did when I was in ES, too. But, as was the trend in the late 80s, she uses it on oversized tees (usually ones her older sister has outgrown but are still too big for her). We also have a "you cannot look like you're not wearing pants" rule in my house.[/quote]
