[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were you. Just hold your nose and give in. For us, the princess phase lasted 3-5--during that time, every Halloween costume was a princess. Around 6 she started getting more sporty, and before her 7th bday, she started refusing to wear skirts and dresses in favor of athleisure. Halloween costumes became superheroes, etc. Still sticking to this at 8; she had a sort of goth vampire costume this year.[/quote] +1 All this except she was a vampire cat for Halloween. It seems like 4/5 is the most gendered phase of childhood and kids are really the enforcers of gender standards. I didn't like it, but as a parent I just kept sharing the message that it's fine to wear what you want to wear but all kids can wear what they want and play with what they want whether they are a boy or a girl and it's rude to say otherwise. Most kids lighten up by 6 or 7.[/quote]
