Done.
Kids of seven wouldn't perceive "lifestyle" from photos, I don't care how intelligent or perceptive they supposedly are. Aside from the "look", you're pushing the idea and perception based on your own.
Perhaps they just thought the clothes were interesting and thought about getting some...I'm really surprised at the amount of parents up in here that think it's all good to get a kid of that age to adopt
any popular "culture" based identity...
"You have to listen to this to be like this?" C'mon...I'm surprised the supposed "real" goth here hasn't slapped that one down yet...trying to make her a goth, or a poser?
You wanna see if your kid is REALLY into it? Place 20 cds in front of her, some "goth" some pop, rock, rap, whatever...burnt, no covers...get her to listen to them...if she actually PICKS said music for herself, then maybe lean towards gentle encouragement. 'til then I'd suggest letting her largely make her own decisions...I mean, the clothes aside...a seven year old GOTH?
Sure...I see HEAPS of those whos parents aren't trying to push them into what they thought THEY should have been. :rolleyes:
Just like the kids parents throw into their own favourite teams jerseys, before they're even old enough to play sports...But it's all good, I'm sure a lot of parents don't even realise they're doing it.
I mean, they still DO have PTA's at most schools, right? y'ask me, you're inviting a lot of friction for yourself and kid, with how negatively the goth culture is perceived by the majority, ignorantly or otherwise, then you'll cry "discrimination!" even though you probably realise what you've done is really a little stupid.
Enough of this.
This thread tells me why people should wait to get their heads together before dropping kids.
You don't have to reply to defend yourself, I know I'm right...your poor choices are your own.
