[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep on what you're doing. If wants to wear a dress or jewelry at home, of course let him and say he looks nice just as you'd say he looks nice if he dressed up in a tie and jacket - but it's also fine not to say anything, assuming you also don't comment when he dresses in traditional boy clothes. And if he hasn't asked to wear a dress to school, then don't bring it up.[/quote]

NP. What do you mean, of course let him?  I would not let my 8 YO son wear a dress or jewelry, even at home. It's called providing parental guidance as to what is appropriate. [/quote]

^This. Kids don't know sh!t. Give him your cultural norms already.

He's 10 years from being able to sign a contract, 11 years from being able to buy a beer, 10 years from a tattoo, 17 freaking years from being able to rent a car... Why in the world would you think he has some inherent knowledge about this. He knows what you teach him to know.[/quote]

+1.  Just tell him no and give him an a selection of clothing choices that doesn't include dresses.  [/quote]
