he wears a scarf and hat that i made (crocheted) for him. He loves the scarf set and tells all his friends that his mom made it.
i think it is still okay for him to love things his mom does for him...i dont think he is a momma's boy...he just understands the love that was put into his stuff...is he going to get teased and beat up for this???

I am a first grade teacher. Sometimes kids can be cruel. However, I work in an inner city school district. I am pleased when kids have a coat that zips. Scarves are a bonus. He is very fortunate to have a mom who made it for him. It is also a way for him to have you near by in school. He can just look over at his cubby, see his scarf, and get a warm fuzzy if he needs one.
Most kindergarten kids don't make fun of one another and hopefully the teacher knows his/her class and prevents anything like that from happening.
Good for you!

no, he won't get teased or beat up for wearing a crochet scarf and hat in kindergarden, and it is wonderful that he appreciates what you have made him. That being said, you know better then me what the scarf looks like, so if it is feminine or fluffy (both girly characteristics) you may want to think of making him a more boyish one, or buying one to go out of the house in and allowing the other to stay home.

My son is in kindergarten too. He is very proud of his Mom and would be happy with anything I would make for him. Your son will be happy with the homemade scarf and hat. He should be wearing them or you'll be taking him to the doc. Tell Dad to get his ego/testosterone in check. Does he really think Junior is going to be made fun of for a scarf? Doesn't he think Junior can handle this if it happens? Stop sweating the little stuff.

Your husband seems to be awful worried about your KINDERGARTEN son's reputation. Give me a break. The boy's not even in the first grade, yet. Kids don't start teasing for stuff like that until about the second or third grade (although, in may case, it was the fifth).
Tell your husband to get a grip. No one is going to see your son wearing a scarf or a cap that his mother made as gay, nerdy, dorky, or anything else bad at that age.
My son goes to school in resale clothes. He's not going to get made fun of until kids are old enough to understand, which is about nine or ten.
Tell your husband to relax.

In kindergarten, absolutely not. Having something that your mum made for you and wearing it proudly is never anything that kids get teased over in kindergarten. My daughter has a homemade hat too that some of her friends are a bit jealous of in the "I wish MY mum would make a hat for me" kind of way.
Four year olds are still pretty attached to their mums, very few kindergarten students even understand the concept of being overly-dependent on a parent. At that age, there isn't a lot of "overly", you know?

Tell your husband to relax. It is only kindergarten! If he likes it then no problem. Kids can be cruel and if your son is being teased then you need to talk to the teacher so that the parents are aware. If the scarf is outrageous or neon pink, then it will be a target for teasing. It all depends on what it looks like.

Nothing wrong with the hat as long as it is in boy colors...but the scarf sounds like it may be a little bit too much. I don't see little boys wearing scarfs around here, some how it's just not manly. The point is not that he loves something his mom made for him. But how he looks and if he goes around saying he loves his mommy. If he's just saying his mom made it, that's fine. Do many boys in your area wear scarfs? If not I would say, lose the scarf.

If the scarf and hat are well made, he will probably have all his little friends asking if you can make them one too! That is what happened to my grandson when he wore a hat that I made him to kindergarten.
Now I am making a hat for one of his friends!!!
At that age, they don't care if it was bought or made by someone.
Did his dad have a bad experience with something hand made? Older kids do sometimes make comments -- but not usually at this age.

While it isn't usual for kids to get teased at that age, it does happen. But I think it would still be OK to risk it for one reason: he will be teased as he grows up. It is inevitable. And he will learn how to deal with teasing by being teased. It hurts moms more when the kids are little, but it hurts the kids less than if they were older. I am not saying to allow severe harrasment, but we all know how kids behave, and being different will bring out the teasing.

I used to crochet my son stuff like that and he wore them to school with no problem. He's 8 now and just the other day asked me to make him a hat. So I don't think he'll be teased.
