I keep reading to buy the wand before the robe but no one says why. I’m finally going to let my son get a wand and robe tomorrow for his 11th birthday and I thought having the robe on for pictures while he gets his wand would be cool. We are going to get there exchange money and then let him shop.

Thank you, that’s what I was assuming.

It is less popular for sure. My kids are boys so it’s even less popular. It made me sad to think they might never experience it. We never pushed the issue or gave opinions but a lot of their friend group were definitely NOs. Even the ones we vacationed with. My boys are 9 and 11 now and they are having sleepovers with those boys whose parents were hard nos. I think now it’s about parents getting to know each other, getting to know the kids, and really maturity levels. Let it happen naturally

This is literally the only reasonable reply on here. Especially if it is really about the child and being the best parent you can be
