My 7 year old son often wears girl clothes. What should i do?
He started wearing his sisters clothes when playing house and i
didn't see any harm in this. later on he started wearing them
also when he wasn't playing house. Because i didn't want him to
ruin his sisters clothes i gave him her old dresses, skirts,
nightgowns etc. Now when he comes home from school he rushes up
to his room and puts on his girl clothes. He won't take them off
until he goes to bed (he sleeps in a nightgown).
I tried to stop him wearing girl clothes but nothing would help.
When i force him in boy clothes or i hide his girl clothes he
starts to yell or cry for hours. I gave him many boy things and
he has several boy friends to play whith (and who accept him in
his girl clothes).
during my holliday he will stay for six weeks with his aunt.
I fear that if i don't allow him to bring his girl clothes with
him that his aunt will get problems with him (crying, yelling or
stealing the clothes of his nieces). His aunt and nieces have seen
him in girl clothes but i don't think she fully realises what it
means when he lives with them. I also fear of the reactions of
other people. At home people saw him gradually picking up his habbit.
Shall i allow him to bring his girl clothes to his aunt?
At home he may wear girl clothes in and around the house,
at the playground, when he goes to some of his friends and when we
go out to people who accept him in his girl clothes.
Since he has there no safe playground or people who learned to accept
him, what should he be allowed? (his aunt can't keep him inside all the
time)
eva.
Lit him wear what he likes and while he is with your ant just pack all girls clothes and tell your aunt to let him wear the clothes and help him look like a girl if that is what he wants to do. You cant change how a person feels when they like a
different way of dress. Just support him and let him dress the way he wants.
