My son every morning before school says to me that he wants to dress like all of the other kids in class.
He is 5 and he never wanted to pick his own clothes before.
Should I take him shopping and have him pick out his own clothes.
Or should we wait until the next school year.
I do want him to learn that he shouldn't dress to impress with all of the new fashions. I want him to feel great with just the way he is.
But since he has never picked out his own clothes
Should I take him shopping?

Take him shopping for a couple pieces.. Dont go crazy with it. He should feel good in what he is wearing.

I would stick with true outfits that are already pieced together that way at least the little pumpkin will match! Just realize that if you do that now you are opening up an expensive can or worms. I have a 6 year old and a 4 year old and I still go shopping alone for their clothes.

wow! cool! Go for it! My bro never wants to change his clothes, and he never cares what he's wearing. Personally he could use a better sense of taste. My dad dresses like a slob. I think my bro will probably dress like him later in life.
Take advantage of this opportunity and let your son go shopping with you and pick out a few pants and shirts!

I wouldn't take him to get a completely new wardrobe, but I think it would be fine to let him pick out one or two new outfits so he can be like the other kids.
Look, at this age he's not wanting to dress like them to impress them he's just wanting to be like his friends. As long as you teach him that you should like people for who they are and not for what they wear or have then it's fine for him to want to be like the others.

the top could desire to be taken care of with lice remedy. all bedding and clothing could desire to be washed in warm water and in dryer for no less than 60 minutes to kill the nits. if this grow to be meant in jest. no cooties won't be able to leap any larger than a 5 12 months old.

yeah, take him, but tell him it's because his other clothes are getting too small. let him pick out the clothes. once he looks like everybody else, he'll top worrying and realize that even people who wear the worst clothes are great people and are funny, and the other way around

Just take him to walmart or another store and see what he likes while talking about (the joneses). Let him know that it is ok and wonderful to not dress like everyone else to be a indiviual

I choose with my daughter, from doing that she now has her own style and when she dresses herself she has a great sense of what goes.
Its not about designer and price it what looks and feels good.
