With older students, I'll occasionally wear a tie to school (I'm female) if someone needs to feel like they can belong even though they're what other people call "different." There's actually a book now that a friend just showed me -- http://www.myprincessboy.com/index.asp -- I'm not sure how much of an application it might have in the class, or if you'd even be able to use it (some schools do not want this sort of thing encouraged in their classrooms), but it's good to know it exists!Johttp://shapefutures.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489135.post-41865028014780746102011-02-13T14:58:18.759-05:002011-02-13T14:58:18.759-05:00I am pretty sure this makes you one of my heroes.I am pretty sure this makes you one of my heroes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489135.post-51883640317770152262011-02-13T14:01:48.463-05:002011-02-13T14:01:48.463-05:00I've had this conversation every year, and my ...I've had this conversation every year, and my son is always my example. "Oh, my son Andrew loves pink, has long hair, wears earings..." He loves coming to school to visit and being grilled with the "do you REALLY like pink?!" questions.

I have a Moster Truck obsessed, car-collecting, dirty, sweaty 5 yos with long hair who has two (older) sisters and attends a class where 13out of the 17 kids are girls. He also loves pink, flowers, shoes, and girls. Why? Because they're all pretty and he likes pretty things.

One of the boys wore a dress at daycare and the kids were laughing about it. I told them that dress up is for pretending and you can pretend to be anyone you want boy, girl or animal. I think my very matter-of-fact attitude was pretty convincing as at least serveral of them put on the "oh yeah" face! :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858262136843117990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489135.post-59128401181754892332011-02-13T10:34:02.939-05:002011-02-13T10:34:02.939-05:00I hear that every year too in my classroom and I h...I hear that every year too in my classroom and I have a similar class conversation.
