[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it isn't sexual. How you present yourself to the world is not just about sex. A 9 yr old going out in nothing but her underwear is still not sexual but by my standards not appropriate. Same with leggings or tights (as pants). If your child wants to go out in tights or not wearing pants and you think that is a great way for her to present herself to the world and the people in it - then go for it. I tell my kids that the outline of your genitals is not something to share with the world - not because it is sexual, it is just private. So no ass cracks, no camel toes, no clothes that show the outline of  the penis. Since we have raised the kids with an understanding that the clothes you wear and how you carry / dress yourself does send a message, they would actually be pretty mortified if their penis, ass crack or vulva were visible to others. They have no desire to wear skin tight clothes or to go out without pants and they aren't thinking sexual at all. [/quote]

Ok, that sounds good for your kids.  For mine, I would be more mortified (and so would DD) if her pants fell down, which is what happens with regular pants.  Jeggings fit her more like pants (and are still loose around the crotch and behind) since she is such a petite little string bean.  She feels comfortable in these b/c she does not have to keep yanking them up, or retucking herself in, or worrying that her underwear will be displayed to the class if she bends over (which would certainly garner a lot of teasing in a room full of kindergarteners).
