Navigating My Son’s Wish to Dress Like a Girl: A Parent’s Journey

Recently, my almost five-year-old son surprised me by asking if he could dress like a girl. At first, I felt a mix of curiosity and uncertainty—how should I respond? As a parent, I want to nurture his sense of self while also guiding him with love and understanding. We talked about how clothes are just one way people express themselves, and I reassured him that he’s free to explore what makes him happy. This experience reminded me that parenting is often about listening and learning together. Have you ever faced a similar moment with your child?
