4 years old or 14 years old.... What to wear to school can be an issue. If it's not an issue, then let it go.
Part of growing up and right of passage is the freedom to dress oneself. Now with dropping temperatures, what to wear to school may stress you and your child out and its time to put your foot down.
Ask these questions:
1. Is it a safety issue or health risk? No high heels and slippers in the snow and slush!
2. Are the clothes in violation of the school policy? No sweatpants or pajamas means no sweats or pj's.
3. Is it your issue (What will people think) or against family rules? Does the T shirt compromise your family values?
4. Are they too revealing or baggy?
Ask yourself why you are so bothered by this? Focus on the style and appeal of the clothes, not your child. Remember when your parents thought what you were wearing was a poor choice? You may have some prom or yearbook pictures to prove it!
