What on earth is your child wearing?!

The World

Yesterday, we talked with the author of “My Princess Boy,” a mother who’s 5 year old son has a predilection for pretty things and girls’ clothing. It made us wonder about the times when you have looked at your child and asked, “What on Earth are they wearing?” You told us your stories, and what you did about your child’s questionable sartorial choices.

Will you support The World?

Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.

Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
