Hats off for you for not caving and picking him up.

I bet he has a few friends who say it is not cool to wear a coat or they just don't wear them, so Jachin doesn't think it is cool. He'd rather suffer and give you dirty looks then look like a wussy and wear the thing. I don't have kids yet, so what do I know, but this would be my guess. girlfriend….it is all about fashion and what is “cool” even for boys.

It's the same thing only now the kids are even cooler cause they only wear the hood. And with global warming who needs coats at all?

He wants your attention more than anything else, in particular right now because he's reaching an age where he's starting to part from you...in fact, he's starting to think of himself as a man, and that's nerve-wracking. So he desperately wants you to pick him up from school; he wants to feel like your little kid. Since you won't, because you want him to develop independence, he'll get your attention by not doing something you've probably told him to do since he was three or four. PS: There is no solution. PPS: Oh, hell, maybe there's a solution. Can you agree that if he wears his coat, you'll pick him up one or two days a week? Something like that?
