My ds is in Y1 and it is own clothes day tomorrow. He recently got a new suit to wear for his uncle's wedding and is desperate to wear it to school tomorrow.
He has so far in life not acquired any self consciousness at all or any concept of embarrassment.
I feel like I should not let him wear his suit in case he is laughed at at school, however it does not seem right to give him the message 'Don't do any thing different in case you are laughed at.'
Even if I dressed it up another way (pardon the pun) like saying his suit maybe ruined, it is still seems like I am trying to make him conform when he doesn't care or want to.
I have a tendency to over think and over react to things so it would be great to get some other opinions.
Should I try and talk him out of it?
