[quote=Anonymous]Not only do we allow our kids to wear whatever they want, but we also consult with them frequently before we buy clothes for them. I usually ask "Do you like this?" and "Would you wear it?" My kids have dressed themselves since they were about 3. Even if their clothes clash, it allows them some control over a part of their life that really doesn't matter to the parents. Additionally, if we let them dress themselves in day-to-day, then when we need them to dress up or dress nicely for some event, then we get a lot less fight/complaints. As much as possible, I give them control over their lives so that when it comes to something that is important, I can set the rules and they will follow them. Our kids know that if we set rules that they are important. Anything not so important, we let them control for themselves. It saves a lot of tension between the parents and children.[/quote]
