[quote=Anonymous]I think your duty is just to make sure that your child knows that some other kids who recognize miss rachel might mock her or question her rudely.

To prepare her with some responses, and also to talk about dressing how she feels happy, not how she thinks other people would gain enjoyment from.

I always talk about why the younger kids liked it and how younger and older kids like different things.

My son was probably just under the line for an autism diagnosis. And we had to talk a lot about social norms and how kids and teens are often more accepting of what looks familiar or acceptable.

And then maybe to help her find other ways where if she enjoys getting some attention for her appearance, and using that as a conversation opener, she can find more age appropriate ways to do so.

My son loved graphic tees and dying his hair when he was young, he loved the compliments and people asking him about it, or saying they liked it. I didn't notice any negative effects of this.[/quote]
