Another summer has flown by, and the start of school is just around the corner.
(Depending on where you live, it may already have begun!)
The List spoke to parenting expert, author, mentor, and CEO ofParenting Evolution, Cathy Domoney.
And if your kindergartener loves mixing stripes with polka dots or wearing mismatched socks, why not?
When in doubt, ask the school: Are ripped jeans acceptable?
Can your preschooler wear pajamas or a princess costume to class?

The family argued that the school’s natural-hair rules were discriminatory, and placed their daughter in another school.
Domoney kept individuality in mind when choosing a school for one of her children.
Her daughter, who had beenbulliedin previous years, considered her ear piercings an important part of her identity.
“We found the right place for her where she was accepted as she was.”
