[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 19:38 and that was my only post in this thread so I'm not who you think I am.  I was not responding to anyone in particular, just commenting in general.  And I never said I had "very few rules."  All I'm saying is that the trouble comes when one child's rules are completely out of synch with those of his or her peers.  [/quote]

Not all kids are equally conformist. Some kids are very much bothered if they are not like their peers, some or not. Growing up, I always relished being different in at least some respects. I always had friends and was somewhat of a trendsetter. I thought it kind of beneath me to do what everyone else was doing, especially if I didn't come to it first. it remained so to this day and I wouldn't change a thing.[/quote]

You are completely misunderstanding my post.  I love kids who are nonconformists, my own DC qualifies for that label.  But if a girl is the only one not wearing make-up because her parents won't let her, thats not nonconformity.  If the girl decides not to wear makeup even though everyone else is, thats nonconformity.  Parents cannot dictate whether or not their children are nonconformists.  Because if kids are solely following their parents' dictates, they are conforming.[/quote]

Nonconformist kids can be on the same page as their parents rather than their peers. your kid sounds like a big time conformist, and so do you, sorry.[/quote]
