I just found out last night that the school is no longer allowing leggings. This frustrates me to no end. I have a beautiful daughter, who due to her scoliosis does not fit "conventional" clothes. So all I can buy her is leggings. I'm just very thankful I didn't procure as many as I have in the past (luckily she hasn't grown in the past year). But that's really the only pants she wears.
I tried jeans once. Very few fit her right and the one that did, she couldn't fasten by herself. Her one hand she is missing a tendon in her thumb, so it doesn't work like most. Now I know there are kids that only have one hand and seem to manage, but they don't usually have the other issue that she has, which is her curve and not growing "normally".
She's only 8, but is only 4 ft, has approximately a 102 degree curve to her back and because of that wears 14/16 girls clothes. I often have to hem things to fit her legs... but luckily she's grown just enough I don't anymore. But who knows now?
I wish I could find someone that could make electric waists for jeans. I mean come on.. they make them for women and for babies, why not for kids? It would help many of us parents that have kids that would make this easy.
Or could the schools just say, don't dress "sexy"? Nothing too tight. That makes more sense.
I'm also worried about the parents that can't afford brand new clothes. What if their child had leggings and now they're saying they can't have them? Not everyone is rich.
Sorry for the vent.. but I had to get this off my chest.
