My 2 year old son wants his toenails painted, should i do it?

Give him a crayon and let him have at it.My 2 year old son wants his toenails painted, should i do it?
Absolutely! What are you afraid of?My 2 year old son wants his toenails painted, should i do it?
Sure. Put some clear polish on him if you are worried about other peoples reactions.
Sure, why not? Kids naturally develop gender identity later in life. At some point he'll realize that men don't usually paint their nails in our society and he'll stop wanting to do it. Until then, it's not going to cause him harm, and it'll give you a chance to spend time together doing something he enjoys.
I would paint them clear.
my son is same age as your son. and everytime he sees me painting my toe nails he always want them to.


i just paint one nail the pinky toe one to make him happy and then i wash his little hand after when he forgets about it.


i dont think is wrong. he is been curious about it. no big deal. just make him happy by painting his little pinky toe but very light!


:)
sure why not its just a stereotype
no
Oh ya. I dont know any older men that have problems because there mom or sister did this sorda thing to them. We dressed up my brother and he turned ';ok'; He is a kid, have fun, life is a hoot and little things like this really dont amount to much. More important to do it and have fun with him. He will remember the fun you had more than that you ';painted his nails';
Nope, he probably just wants it because you've got them.
tell him its for girls our just put on a clear coat (shiny) or base coa(turns dull) my little cousin did that to its just a stage TRUST ME he'll grow out of it
NO!!!
Sure why not,wouldn't you let your daughter put on a football uniform? It's no big deal,he's just curious. It won't harm him,well the fumes form the polish and remover may,but the act of painting his toenails will do no harm.
Just use clear coat...my cousin does nails for a living and all 3 of her sons wanted it at one point or another....they dont do it anymore, they are teenagers now....your son just wants to do what you do because you are his idol right now, my 2 yr old son brushes his buzzed head with my brush and rubs my makeup brush all over his face....they are little sponges that imitate everything you do. it doesnt mean he is gay or anything....they want to be like you. :) he will grow out of it and stop when he sees other boys dont do that.
tell him at it is a girl thing
No because when he grows older he might think it is okay to paint his nails and he will be made fun of at school
There is nothing wrong with him wanting his toe nails painted at his age. He more than likely saw you doing it wants to be just like you. My son is two and has walked around in high heels, put on lipstick, likes butterfly clips in his hair, and carries a purse around......all of which he wants to do after seeing a woman he admires doing it. He also wants to vacuum, brush his teeth, talk on the phone, paint the fence....after he sees someone doing it. At 2, they have yet to establish their itentity as typical boy/girl behaviors so you're not gonna screw him up at all by doing it. If you are painting yours, go ahead and paint his, and then when you are removing your polish, remove his as well. All he's doing at his age is seeing something you do, and wanting to do the same. By telling him no, you're telling him that wanting to do anything our society stereotypes as ';girly'; is wrong. Let him be a kid and enjoy painting his nails. It'll be a funny story to tell his girlfriend when he's 18 lol.
paint them blue or something boyish! He's just doing what you do and thinks he can do he's 2! not 22. It's winter anyways..people aren't going to see them with socks on!
My youngest son is now 4. He went through that stage too. He sees you doing it and wants to be a part of what you are doing. Do it. Mine has worn polish and has had make-up on.....LOL....thanks to my then 13 year old daughter. He now knows that it is a girl thing and he is over it. It is only a stage and just wants to be involved. Nothing to worry about.
No, and explain to him in terms that he can understand why not.





It is sad that our society today wantsto blur gender lines %26amp; try and make men %26amp; woman ';equal'; in all aspects of life. We are not the same and our differences should be embraced, not disregarded.
Sure. He sees you painting your nails, and it looks like fun, so he wants to try it too. It's that simple, and there is absolutely no harm in letting him explore a bit. He'll develop 'boy' interests as he gets older.
He probably just want it because you have it, paint them clear, or whatever color he wants, who cares, hes 2, its only toe polish. Have fun bonding with your little man. Good Luck
Yes, he just wants to experience new things and it would be some great bonding time for the two of you.





When one of my nephews was 8 or 9, he wanted to dress up as the pink power ranger for Halloween; he also carried around a baby doll and prentended it was his baby sister (he's an only child); and he asked me to teach him how to crochet (which he saw me doing constantly). Today, he is now a perfectly normal 20 year old, in college with a wonderful girlfriend.





I have a 6 year old daughter and even though she loves playing with dinosaurs and ';Hot Wheels'; she still has her moments of being my princess, my little girly-girl.





So painting you son's toenails will not ';damage'; him in any way. Kids are curious and I don't think gender specific toys and activities shape who your child will eventually be. Have fun with your son - kids get enough of ';no you can't do that';.
It's okay. At 2 years old, they don't know what's girly or not and it won't affect him. It doesn't matter what color, even better, let him pick. If he wants his nails always painted, tell him that it's only something he can get done every once in awhile.


Good Luck
