[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 185479, member: 45"] My easy child took a similar class last year and he started liking sewing. He enjoyed the project and made a pillow - but he chose black because it was "manly." He has also loved cooking and baking since 6th grade, so he was way far ahead of the boys on the cooking part of class. He did get teased a lot but he took it well and laughed with them, unlike difficult child who would react poorly and then trouble would start. My difficult child used to love pink and wanted to wear it all the time. We let him, but warned him ahead of time that if he wore that color, there was a chance someone would tease him about it. We prepared him with how to handle what they said (using specific examples) and what to say back to them. He did get teased, but was able to handle it because we rehearsed with him. I'd give him a heads up that if he tells kids at school he may get some teasing. [/QUOTE]
