Dear Carolyn: My son is 2½ and loves dresses. Dresses on movie characters, dresses on toys, talking about who in his class wears dresses. He will wear my shirts and pretend it’s a dress.

Why baby girls & boys should wear dresses First of all, they’re more creative; frothy tutus or swirly dresses are perfect to dance in, and glamorous trains are so much fun to trail around the room.

Kids grow up based on their parents' decisions for them, if your boy wants to buy a dress it would only make sense to tel them no that's for girls simply because . . .

“Occasionally we hear someone ask why he is wearing a dress and he doesn’t care.” “There’s such a high rate of suicide for transgender kids,” Johnson says.
