[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not CERTAIN. I just know I had a hard time with social expectations when I was a kid, and was bullied mercilessly for not fitting in. Obviously he'll deal with some of that, but I'd rather not let him walk directly into it when I can stop it. [/quote] You need to stop being terrified for your kid based on your past experiences. I can totally see saying “hey, some kids might think this is for younger kids. Are you cool if they make fun of the theme? Or do you want to pick something else?” If the still wants the theme, let him have it. If he seems less sure, suggest a couple of back up plans. But you are really seem to be having an emotional reaction to something purely hypothetical. [/quote]
