[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 54849, member: 1514"] I wouldnt force him to toss out his toys but I might suggest that he not take them to school with him. On the clothing issue, I might try to find some clothing that would be a compromise that will be socially acceptable so he wont stand out in middle school. Maybe elastic gym shorts like basketball shorts would be more stylish. I also think they make jeans with elastic waists. Maybe he could find some sort of pull up soft cotton pants in elastic waist that he likes. I doubt anyone is going to check to see if they have a button. You dont need to force him to grow up. Thomas the tank can be kept at home. The construction stuff can be a growing thing because that grows with age. [/QUOTE]
