Would you let your son decorate his room like this?

I woud probably try to steer him ina differemt direction. He might like this now, but when he starst school and starts to have friends over he will change his mind and will want a cooler boys room. I think children change their minds alot.. However if this is what he really wants and u think that he will not change his mind, then go ahead =)

LOL!That's a challenging task...If i were on your shoes, I honestly admit, I dont't know what to do...Why not give some suggestions like instead of my little ponies, decorate it with Ponies, put some cars and cartoons (suited for boys) and probably better if you explain why you are suggesting them...

Well, I agree with most of the previous posters, he may quickly outgrow his desire for my little ponies. You could paint the room yellow, and that way he won't be embarrassed about it in a few years. Also, you could make the my little pony cut outs, (I'm not quite sure how you would do it, on plywood, and paint them maybe? I've seen cut out pieces of plywood covered with fabric.. and that looked great.. I wouldn't be able to do it, but you might be.) and velcro them onto the wall, that way they are moveable, (and he can play with them) and easy to remove when he's ready to move on to something else.. Then when it's cars or trucks.. or whatever his little heart desires.. you can do the same thing if you want. Good luck!

Here is the major problem with decorating kids rooms. What is fun and important to them now may have completely changed 3 weeks later. I don't think it's a problem that he wants that color or "my little ponies' in his room. People get too hung up on the stereotypical stuff rather than letting kids experiment and discover things for themselves.

Boy, thats a tough question. I have 2 girls right now, but a son on the way in about 2 weeks. I think I might try to steer him a little more towards boy stuff or atleast a more plain room. I want to be supportive of whatever my kids choose, but at that age, he could get a lot of teasing from the other boys at school if they'd see it or if he tells them about it. I wouldn't want my kid to be teased.

Honestly, I would probably try to steer him towards something else. Not because of the boy/girl type room issue, but all those colors with stripes and ponies is a pretty labor intensive room decorating project! If he is anything like my son, who was completely into Scooby Doo last month and now it is all about Power Rangers, his tastes will change so quickly and it might be best to have some sort of easily changeable theme.

yes cos by this way he will admire the room. but if you decorate it the way you want he may not like it

Well if you will be able to redecorate it at a later date then I would say go for it..but maybe you could (just in case he has friends over etc) boy it up a little...for example have some of the Ponies boy Ponies rather than all girls.....I let my kids decide what they want to do with their rooms (mind you they are older now)....I think its important for a kid to have that comfortable safe zone where they can hangout and be around their "stuff" ya know..... If you are worried about him changing his mind when school starts why not wait until the end of Sept and until then take him to Home Depot or somewhere to look at different ideas and so on...

My cousins little boy is the same way and now he is going to 6 and still hasnt outgrown it. We all thought he would but he likes all girl things. OH well what are we going to do? I would suggest more boy things to him for it gets out of hand.LOL They dont usually grow out of these things. And if you encourage this he will see no reason to stop.Good Luck.

if you give him a pink room with ponies and that on it, dont act shocked when he tells you he is g a y at 17. you could still paint his room purple. i just dont know about the pink and flowers!

Can you paint it up in more neutral colours and then allow your son to go wild with 'accesories' of 'My Little Pony'? For instance, can you suggest some posters and let him pick out which of these he would like in his room? Can you give him a 'space' on the wall that is all his - perhaps a large corkboard where he can put up or take down items as his interests change? When he's a bit older, won't need help with the tacks and stuff, but for now, he could let you know what changes he wants to make. You could put trim up in his selected colours, as a previous poster already said. If you make a big deal out of how many 'accessories' you're going to allow him to have, he might worry less about having the walls actually pained in his selected colours and then you can rest easy! For those not worried about the expense, I would say, "HECK DO WHAT HE ASKS!" and if he changes his mind later on, after a very short time - then let him live with his 'My Little Pony' decision for a while. And then ask, once you're ready to make other changes again - if it wouldn't be better to just 'accessorize' in the room so that the decorations can change more often. This might not work really well with a four year old - but if he gets stuck with 'My Little Pony' for about 6 months, he might pick up on the fact that changing accessories is more possible and more flexible than trying to get parents to change the whole room.

Wow that's a tough one. My son is forever changing his mind about his favorite cartoon character each day. One minute its Tom and Jerry, the next it's Power Rangers and now Sea Animals LOL I would probably steer him away from the pink and the my little ponies idea, but still keep the purple and lavender and put something else that he likes or might like. I think I would have more trouble with my husband than trying to convince my son to go with something different. I don't think my husband will ever let me paint my sons room pink. I do like his colors though :)

All the colors he described are very cute and pretty. I think you may paint the wall like that. Regarding the ponies and flowers you may consider paste paper cut instead of paint.

That's a tough call, but I think it would be best to compromise with him. I agree that he will grow out of it once he goes to school so maybe you could paint it one color and then use wallpaper for the flowers this way as he grows up it can easily be removed.

I would go for the colors, as they can be painted over easily if he outgrows them. I would look for wallpaper borders that had My Little Ponies, and also some with flowers. Just make sure they are the kind that strip easily. I would also, maybe, buy posters, or in my case, and I know not everyone can do this, I would take large pieces of poster board and make BIG my Little Ponies for him to hang on his wall. If they turn out good, go have them laminated. He is four, and this is what he likes now. Next month he might want something else, so do it inexpensively as possible.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with it if thats what he wants. But hopefully it will be easy to change if he decides he doesn't like it anymore. And kudos to you for allowing your child to decide what he wants. Many parents wouldn't do that.

i would let him express himself the way he wants to. He's only 4, it'd be a different story if he was 10. But even then, if he was 10 years old and wanted little ponies on his wall well who cares? Let him be who he wants to be. I think pink, yellow and lavender with flowers and ponies over is cool!

Its is really cute but the problem is he is a boy. If i have a son frankly i dont want to agree because i have an experience of one of my brothers that likes flowers and just like other girly stuff. His growing like a girl and we told him he is aboy and not a girl. He is now i think 28 but stillits girly and likes to be friends of men not girls. But he said still he likes girls hmm i dont know. Its up to you if he really want it just try to explain that what he likes is for the girls not for boys.

i think you are going a little overboard on giving him a free choice of what he want his bedroom pained..i guess i am old school..kids have too many of these "priledges" thrust upon them..he does not know what he is asking..sure the kids would make fun and some adults too..but do what you want..but giving a four year old decesions like this is asking for troulbe....but do what you want.

I would definitely decorate his room according to his choice but to a limit.becoz firstly v never decorate room everyday and kid's preference change with in days.so i will agree on some things according to him and i will make him agree on somethings according to me
