That's a different philosophy on parenting, and while I don't disagree with it in theory, in some cases it's better to just tell the child what they need to do at that time. My other concern about the shoes was that they were very sparkly and the sort of thing that leads to other children being jealous and wanting special treatment too - I didn't need to deal with that from 10 toddlers. When it's just one it's easier to let them make bad choices.

I hadn't thought of that point about one kid vs a bunch of kids. Makes sense.
