[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would focus on it not being comfortable or practical for playing. Tell her those outfits aren't for active children and show her what happens of she tries to use the monkey bars.[/quote] We talk a lot about appropriate clothing for settings and activities. My 7 year old has sports 'bras'/cropped sport tops for dance, but knows that they're not options for other occasions. We do basic movement checks when trying on regular clothes (jeans, shorts, shirts) to make sure everything stays in place, doesn't cause wedgies, etc. I don't really care about cropped boxy shirts for girls - not my thing, but not offensive, and seem to be 90% of what's available - but in our house, we have a rule that truly midriff-bearing items (as well as off-the-shoulder/cold-shoulder tops and tops/dresses with cutouts) are for teenagers and adults.[/quote]
